TESTFMOXIALS FROM THE PBLSS.
Tlu Bruoldyt: D.iily Eagle.
Tlic country \- becoming so flooded with
European populations that any scheme for
preserving with laudable pride one's family
history must be of interest. "The Record of
My Ancestry," by Rev. Frederic W. liailey, is
such a scheme in blank, and one of great
ingenuity, if not of equal simplicity at first sight.
It is a handsome qusrto, ruled for names,
photograplis, dates and notes, with directions
for the use of the same.
The Cangregatioialist.
The study of genealogy has been taken up
tluring recent years in many quarters ?.nd with
much zest. Local historical societies abound
and devote lart'C attention to genealogy, and a
nudtitude of individuals arc at work upon their
family trees. There is no more fascinating
enr[)!oyment apart from the substantial value
of its fruits. Its difficulties are very great,
however, especially in respect to arrangement,
and such a work as that of Rev. F. W. Hailey,
" The Record of My Ancestry " [$3.00], which
prescrits a simple and sufncient plan, deserves
to be widely used. If the explanations furnished
be read with care its coiiveiiience becc'mes
evident. It contains places for small photo-
graphs, spaces for references ana notes and,
in general, is well adapted to its purpose.
Tkc L.i-:i7ig Chitrch.
A well arranged book for the genealogy of
one's family, by means of which poster! ?■,' may
be- saved endless trouble if the book is
jjropcrly kept and posted.
Tlu Clitnttan Leaihr.
Under the title of " The Record of My
Ancestry,'' Rev. F. 'SV. Bailey has made an
ingenious and useful album for the purpose of
tnabhng everyone to make up the record of
his own ancestors. An increasing number of
people are interested in genealogical researches
and the study is of great fascination. There i.s
no system so admira'oly adapted for this work
a> ^i!. Bailey's book, simple, complete, easily
understood. Mr. Bailey is his own agent and
his book is having a large sale.
The Churchman.
Thi; very ingenious and useftd album is
designed by Rev. Frederic W. Bailey, B. D.
Its purpose is set forth in the preface; the
designer found great diiTiciilty in arranging the
complicated records of his owi\ genealogy;
hence arose this lal'or-saving method which
ena^lles the compiler of ancestral history to
simplify the process verv materially. The
system adopted is carefully e.xplained, hut is
scarcely more than the easy use of blanks and
spaces provided to one's hand.

1'he coLintry is Ijecoiiiir.g so t'oocled with
Euiopcan populations thai; any scheme for
preserving with laudable pride one".s family
history must be of interest. "The Record of
My Ancestry," by Rev. Frederic W. Bailey, is
-such a S(dienie in blank, and one of great
iiigeniiitv, if not of equal simplicity at first sit;ht.
]t is a h.indsonie ciuarto, ruled for nrunes,
photographs, dates and notes, with directions
for the use of the same.
Th : Co>i^rega iio n a lest.
The study of genealogy has been taken up
during recent years in many quarters and with
much zest. l,ocal historical societies al)ound
aqd devote large attention to genealogy, and a
multitude of ii.dividuais are at work upon their
f.iniily trees. There is no mors fascinating
employment apart from the substantial value
of its fruits. l'^ difhculiies are very great,
hri\rever, cspecidlv in respect to arrangement,
and such a work as that of kev. \. \V Baiiey,
" 1 he Record cf My Ancestry " [Jj.oo], which
presents a simple and sufficient plan, deserves
to lie widely used. If the e.xpl^ination.-- furnished
be read with care its convenience becomes
evi'leiU. It cc.'itains places for.sm.dl photo-
j;i:iplis, spaces for references and notes and,
in general, is well adapted to its purpose.
7 fn" / r ill ^' Chuych.
A well arranged l;ook for ihe genealogy of
one's family, liv nie.ins of wiueii posterity may
be saved cnclless trouble if the book is
properly kept and posted.
The Chrl-tun Le.:Ur.
Under the title of "The I\ecord of My
.\nce.-.try," Kev. F. \V. Pailcy h.r.> made an
ingenious and usi.fui album for the purpose of
enabling everyone to make up tlie record of
his own ancestors. .An increasing number of
people are interested in genealogical researehes
and the study is of gre.it f.i.-cinacion. There is
no system so admirably adapted for this work
as >Ir. llailey's book, simple, complete, easily
understood. .Mr. f'.ailey is his own agent and
his book is havirg a large sale.
The ChiirtK»t:i>:.
This very ingenious and useful .Tibum is
designed by Kev. 1 rederi.; W . Paiicy, li. I).
Its purpose is set fori.i in tf'c preface; the
designer found great oirficulty iii arranging [lie
complicated records o; hi-, own genealogy;
hence arose this labor-saving inerhoii which
enables the compiler of ancestral history to
simplify tiie process verv mntetialiv. The
S'Stem adopted is carefully i^.\riiained, but is
scarcely more th.m tiie e^sy u>e of bl.mks and
spaces provided to one's hand.

j HE Saratoga Pilgrimage wliich was to have been
held Sept. E9th, was postponed indefinitely at the
suggestion of President-General Walter Seth Logan, out
of rej<pect tc< the death of Compatriot McKinlev. Tlie
Board of }il2nagers of the National Society, who were to
have been the guests upon that occasiun of President
Logan, V ere U'.tiiled to meet Oct. 14th, at New York,
and dine with iiim in the evening at the Colonial Club.
That the Saratoga Pilgrimage would have been a suc-
ce.ss there is no doubt, and it is proposed by the Business
-Men's Association of Saratoga Springs, assisted bv a
local chapter S. .A. R.. that is being f'jrmed \v \\v<x\. vil-
lage and tb.e D. A. R. Chapter, already there, tc make a
prominent feature of celebrating Sept. 19th, and inviting
all those interested in patriotic endeavor to meet there at
that time for a few days' celebration. A visit to the bat-
tle-field is of great interest ; the trip to Lake George one of
the most pictLiresc[ue in the country; and the sights
around .Saratoga Springs and a taste of the waters are
well viorth the jounieA-.
The Sons of tlie Ainerican Revolution were well repre-
sented m Washington, at the funeral of o>ir Comf'atri' t

I have chosen as the suhject of this ad'lress a chapter in
the IVJasonic annals, vehieh, if less pictures(:[ue, is at least

the dim shadow of tradition and stand in llie broad da}--
ligTt of authentic history — a chapter, too, which h.as been
lein.g neg'leeted bv the chroihclers of the craft and oriC

Ix Tin: LeiDc^.i'; Room.
At th.e outbreak of the Revolution r\[asc!nic lodges in
America vcere few and feeble. The eTlest of th.em liad
existed less than half a centuiyv (3) and the membership
was exceedingly small (4). I'ut what was lacking in
numbers was more than supplied in (juality. The Free-
masons of that peri'id included the flower of colom'al
citizensliip and their very fewness was a source of
strength. In a snudl ludge all could know and trust each
otlier; all felt the need eif absolute secrecy in deliberation
— of solidarit\ in action. Plence it is not strange that
some of these colc>nial lodges became tlie centers of revo-
lutionary propaganda. ( 5 )
St. Axdkew's L'jdok.
Foremost among these was the lodge of St. Andrew
at Bostoti. Foundeei in 175'' audi chartered by the Grand
Lodge of Scotland in 1760, it began it_> career independent
of English influence and just in time to share in the open-
ing scenes of the war fi'r independence. Ji_-iseph \\ arreri
veas its [Master. I'aul Revere one of its early initiates
and secretaries and later its master, atid on it- rolls were
tlie names of John. liancijck. and James C'tis and rnanv
others who are now recognized a? the leaeling clr.:racters
<:i that eventful epoch.

orgariizatii">ns r.iet at the Gnun I )r,agon d'awrn wlncli
wa-- owned and occupied by St. Andrew'.-. LodL;e an.d the
MKonbers of the iaUer were leaders iu the former. It
v.as at tliis tavern that the historic P.os'on Tea i'ari\ wa^
planned by Warren, Revere and other nieuibers 01 St.
.Amlrevv's ( 7 ). l he records of the lodge disclose that on
the evening afu-r the le.-id.adeu ship.'- arri\ed in l'iO;.to;i
Harbor there wa^ an ,'idjour)iin<.;iU on account oi :.;\\,\_\\
attendance and the secretary adds the sigrnlicant no,tc th.al
"consigUA-es rif tea took the brethren's time." The nuu-
utes of Deceiuber 16, J 773, the date of tlie tea party, sheiw
that the lodge was again adjomau-d until tlic ricxt cvcn-
mg. (8) Its members were among that i)and of enthu-
siasts \\ ho had boarded the sln'jis and were rapidly hea\-
iiig the obno-xious lea into the water- of b.o<;ton Harbor.
In the siirring da}'S which followe^.l it was I'anl Revere
eif ."^t. Andrew's Lodge who earned the title of "ddie
I'atriot MerciuA" oi- "The Aless^enger of the Revolu
tiein." ih(jusands or miles lie rode o)\ horseloack, s[)read-
ing the news of the destruction of the tea, bearing dis-
patclies tri e>thcr colonies, to Xew Vork and I'hiladelphia.
Iho. I'aul Revere set out u[)on his famou? ride to Con--
curd to warn his countr\rnen of the toe's approach — a
ride which has been immortalized by the magic pen of
Longfellow wdio tells us that
"Through all our hi.-'tory -to the last
In the hour of darkness and peril and need
The people will \\aken and listen to hear"
The hurrying hoof-heats of that steed
And the midnight message of Paul Revere."
And when at last the storm whicli for years had been
gathering burst in all its fury it was St. Andrew's Lodge
wb.ich furnishe^I the first great martyr to American
liberty. Jobe[ih Warren, Major General in the Conti-
nental Army, fell at lUmker Hill ; and thus the lodge
which had almost initialed the war gave up its Master in
the battle w Inch determined forever tlie supremacy of the
American arms in Massachusetts. Xo other organiza-
tion, civic or military, of its numbers, can be compared
to St. Andrew's Lodge in the e.xtent of its contributions
tc> the American cause. The title "Cradle of Liliertv"
wliich has been applied to Faueui! Hall, rightftdly be-
longs to tlie Green Dragon Tavern where gathereel that
little band of ^Masons who precipitated the A.merican
Revolution,

But there were other lodges wliich rendered valuable
services in the war feir independence. St. John's Pro-
vincial Grand Lodge at Boston, the older rival of St. An-
drew's, furnished in the ])erson of its Deputy Grand .das-
ter Ridley, the engineer wdio planned the American forti-
fications at Banker Hill. ( 10) St George's Lodge at
Schenectady, X'. Y.. wdiere many Revolutionary oiilcers
were made Atasons, honored itself and the order by ap-
propriating lodge funds for the support of ihe families of
its members who had been taken prison.ers b\' th.e British
(111.
The intimate connection between ^Masonry and th.e
patriotic nitA-ements is al>o shown by the gro\vth of the
order at this time. Master's Lodge alone at Alhanv, re-
ceived eigh.ry-three new members during the hi>toric
year 1776 1 i_' 1 .

lh<"-^(. lodi'r.s— American Union at M(irri^l(j\va N. J. —
thai Lafayette '3 l)clieve<l to Ikixo rccciveil liis decrees
(16). l.ndo-c !ncctiTiq-s were sonK-tinies held in oiVieers'
tents (17) and snineliines, as in ihe erise of the arn*iy en-
camped on the llndsv.n, in a perinar.ent huildin;:;- spe-
cially erected for that pni-p'ise (iS). .\rid sm ai-tivf were
tliese military Masons that a n.iovciner.l was siarteti and
several ccnneiitions ludd at Movri^lown will) :i eicw to
establishing an Atn.erican c-'eneral Grand l.cdue and mak-
ing \VashinyLon Cii'and Mas't r of the I'rdied StaU-s (H)).
It is difficult to o\ eie.'iimate the s;ro(egic vahie of these
army lodges. In the first place tliey promoted fellowship
and solidarity in the ranks and synr)jathy between officers
and men. In an army wh.ere ahe Innnblesi privat-.- might
sit in lodge on a level with the Commander-in-Cliief thi:re
arose a spirit of self-sacrifice, mutual helpfulness and de-
votion— an csf-'rit clii roj'[^s — which no hireling sol(iier\'
could have. Where the clistinctioiis of rank wire lost
ii: the ties of brotherhood even tlie suiierings of that ter-
rible winter at Valley Forge might be made endurable.
Again, the prevalence of Masonry in tlie patriotic army
insured secrecy in the plaris of ca.mpaign and n lelilv in
their execution. Councils of war. it is sai^l. v. en; fre-
quently held in the lodge room where their dolibeiations
were unuei the double se il of Masonrv and patriotisna.
Generals could entrust their despatches to couriers who
were brother Masons and feel certain that nothing would
be divulged. Thus our eighteenth century bretiiren
fonned the strong arm of the Continental service. It is
claimed that nearly every American general was a ^La^^on
(26) ; certainly the leading ouics were. Even the al-
lies, Lafayette, the ]'''~renchman.. aitd Steuben (21) and
DeKalb, the Germans, were members of the order. John
Paul Jones, the founder of our navy, i- knov.-n to have
petitioned St. Bernard's Lodge at Kirkcudbright. Scot-
land, and probabl} was a member of it. (22) Had the
Freemasons been withdrawn from the Continental forces
the Revolution must have been a dismal failure.
Masons in the British Akmv.
But we must never forget that not all Freemasons of
the Revolution were enrolled in the patriot ranks — that
they wete nimierous in the invading army as well. Ross,
the historian of the Grand Lodge of New York, records
as operating during the v, ar in that state alone tnore titan
tliirty British nhlitarv lodges. And to the fact that
Masons were actively engaged on both sides is due some
of the most eratifving incitlents of the war. It has been
said that the fairest flowers are those that bloom over the
wall of partv ; but how much more must be said of those
thru bloom anhd the strife of armies.
F^arlv in tlte war an event occurred that proved the
strength of the ]Ma>onic tie^ At the battle of tlte Cedars
near Montreal. Ceil., j'l'ni .McKinstry, a Freemason, was
captured by a band of Ini;lians, allies of the British, whose
chief v.-as the celebrated Joseph Brand, also a Vlas'ou. In
accordance, with savage custom the prisoner \vas bmuid
to a stake, fagots v.ere piled around him, and tb.e torch
was about to be aiiphed, when, he gave to Chief i'.rand the
sign which Masons know the -weM'ld around — the grand
hailing sign of distress. Imlian tliough lie was the chief
recogm'zed tlie si'_,oi and ordered the t'-rture to cea.= e. an'!
he and his eatJtive became fan frieruls for the re-st of
tlieir lives (-'3).
Agaiii. in [770. Joseph Burnam. a ^lason who was
held by the I'.ritidi a.s a prioiier of war in X<;w "^'ork
City, escaped and ^r.M-lii .-.],, iter in the Crieer, Bay Tree
1 a\ern ki:pt b\ aiii'tlier Ma^on named llopkiriS. This
tavern served as a n.ieeting palace for St. John's Lodge,
wliich was comijosed mostly of b.rit'sh oflicers. The
fugitive was secreted in the t.avern garret which was jUst
abo\e tlie lodge room, and while he uas reclining at night
on the planks wlu'h lonnc'l the garret tlonr i1k>c gave
uav and ijixcipitated the unfortunate gia'st into the center
oi the I'ldge in the \ery midst of its deliberaliDns. I'lie
l.ind!i)rd wh(-> was al>o the Tiler, was called upon h^r an
e>;planation and lie like a good Mason maJe a clean
breast of the whcT; aft'air. Whereupon the mentbers of
tlie krlge took- u]i a contribution for the fugitive brother
and, ih'iugh bis enemy in war, assisted him to reach the
American lines across ilic Hudson river (24).
Another instance of Masonic magnanimity occurred
when the Iirave Baron UeKalb. our German ally, was
slain at the baitie < n" (.'amden in 170O. Although he had
crossed the Atlantic to lake ]\<.n in .a quarrel that was not
his, against tb.e Iha'tish, he was buried by them with both
.Masonic and military honors (25).
}>1asonic SriRiT Among thf, Ami^kioans,
d'hese are ilhiS' nations wdiich, thanks to Alasonic teach-
ing, reveal the fcie in a better light tlian we are wont to
think of him. Let us notice some expressions of the
same spiiit on the .American side. Lodge LiiiLv No,
16S was a ScC'ttish militaiy lodge in tlie iTtli foot of the
British army. In 1779 while the regiment was engaged
in a skirmish, the constitution and jewels of the lodge
were lost, but were returned to it by Col. Parsons of
American Lnion Lodge in the oi)[iOiiiig army (26). A
more striking instance occurred when the ^Masonic chest
uf tlie 46th I'lritish infantry Avas caiJtured by the .Vnicri-
can. Wdieii Gen. \\'ashingtoii heard ol it lie ordered the
chest and other articles of valtie returned to the owners
accom[>aniedi by a guard of honor. (27) The London
Freemasons" Vlagazine, commenting en the circumstance,
fre^ni an English standtioint, says:
"IT.e surprise, the feelings of both officers and men
ma)- be imagined vlien they perceived the fiag of truce
that announced this elegant ecjinpliment from their noble
opponent but still more noble brother. ITe guard of
honor, their flutes playing a sacred march, the chest con-
taining the constitution and implements of the craft borne
aloft like another Ark of the Covenant, equally by Fng-
lislnnen and Americans, who. lately engaged in the
strife of war, now' marched through the enfiladed ranks
of the gallant regiment, that, with presented arms and
colors, hailed the glorious act b_\" cheers wliich the senti-
ment rendered sacred as the hallehijahs of an angel's
But perhaps the most significant illustration of tb.e
effect of j\Iasonry on the war was the action taken by the
Grand Lodge of Scotland. It is well ku'r^wn that tb.e war
was unpopular in many parts of Great Britain but some
of the subordinate Scottish lodges, urged perhaps b_\ gov-
ernment Lifncials, had ofi'ered bounties for recruits to the
army. Wdien the tjrand Lodge met it condemned this
practice in unmistakable terms antl in its instructions de-
clared :
"iMasonry is an onler of peace and it looks on all man-
kind to be brethren as Vlasons, whether tliey be at peace
'•r at war wdth each other as subjects of contending cotin-
trie-," (28)
d"!:ir.- above tr.c .-teim and stress of armed strife the
soothing spirit of IMaseuiic fellowship brooded like a bird
of calm. If Mbasons prcci[)itated and promoted the strug-
gle for independence, they likewise mitigand its he^rrors
and made possible tb.e disclosure of the ih^blcst trails '"n
bn;li .Americaii and Briton. It is tlie liroudc-t heriiaqe

W'hien we tnni frcun scenes of carnac;'c to the nvue
pjaceln! hrimts of diplomat .md statesman, dnrinp; the
Revohuioii, we hnd l'"reemasoii^ there active and iniluen-
tial. It is a notahle fact that the earliest suggestion oi' a
Federal union ef the American colonics came from the
first American Grand Master. JJanici Coxe, who in 1730
received a deputation as Provincial Grand JMaster, made
this suggestion in a work pnhlishcd as early as 1710,
[J')) and may tlicretorc projterly be called the hr.-^t
hVdeialist. It was tliis idea, adopted later and advo-
cated b^' ariother eminent Mason and Provincial (iratul
"Master, j^enjamin Franklin, that grew into the imion
estafilished bv the constituiion framed sevent}' years later.
Tlic declaration of Independence, whether penned by
Paine or Jefferson, was the worlc of a JNIason (30) and
manv of the signers of tlia.t in>lrmrient arc believed to
have been members of ovr ord^r (31). h'reemasons were
foremost in the Philadelphia Convention that framed the
P'ederal Constitution and thus completed the work. of the
war. Besides Washington, the President, and Franklin,
the Nestot, of that body, Hamilton, th.e genius of the
Convention, was a Mason. (^32)
At the Courts of Furove.
But after all it may f)e that [Masonry's most effective
service to the Ainerican cause was rendered not at home
but abroad. ^Ye know that the aid of France was a pow-
erful, if not indispensable factor in the outcome of the
v.-ar and that the sympathy of other Continental pov.ers
was advantagec)us. Ijut why should these haughty
monarchies look wdtli favor upon t'lc struggling repub-
lic? Why did they not turn the same deaf ear as recently
to the Boer cnvoy,>? There seems to liave been some
mysterious intlucnce which changed their once liostile at-
titude into one of friendship; and recent investigations
have led to the beb'cf that this influence was the ]\Iasonic
order. ( 33 ) W hen Franklin, the Freemason, went to
Paris .to p.lead the American cau-e at the court of St.
GeriTiain he naturally sought out the members of the
fraternity. At the "Lodge of the Xine }iluses" wdiere
he often attended, he met the intellect and statesman-
ship of the gay Frencli capital and it is believed that
partly, at least, through these influences he was enabled
to reach the ear of Louis X\'I, to secure for us the French
fleet and army, and thus to turn the tide of the war in
favor of tlie American cause at its darkest hour. And
titus the record of "Masonic service in tlie Revolution is
complete. There was no part of it in wdiich Masons did
not share and no important phase which would probably
ha\-e succeeded but for them.
But my brethren we fail to grasp the fuli significance
of this noble record if we see in it only a source of pride
and gratification.' It is all this but much more, for every
page imposes duty, obligation, responsibility. If it be
true, as th.e record seems to teach, th:it American inde-
pendence was largely brought about by Masons, and that
to this end the best energies of the craft were devoted in
the trying times of the Revolution. If our predecessors
gave "their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor"
to statt the republic on its glorious career, surely we can
best prove true to tlie traditions of Atnerican Mas'^nrv bv
continuing th.e work which th.cy began. Our aiivantages.
if not our opportunities, are greater than th.eirs. The
feeble fraternity of that day has become a po'.verful order
ninv — -from a few thousands it has g;ro\vn to more th.ui
three quarters of a million, carefully selected frum the
ranks of American citi"/e;rdii[j. Its repre?entative> are
found in e\ery oflicial station from the President down.

of the Society, whether members of the Board of Managers or
Executive Committee or nut, attended at the funeral, and those

'I'here were a considerable number, I should
think one hundred, in the procession, and we were accorded
a place of honor, and I think it was fiie general remark of every-
body who saw the procession that the Sons of the .\merican
Revolution had no incijuspicuous part in the sad ceremonies
attending the President's funeral, _
I asked you to com: to New Y'nk: bectmse I could do m.ore

The Secretary, Captain Grr
lie
I
asked my stenograplier. at his rerinest. to take the minutes of
the proceedings, and Captain (jro,s will have them.
I think that the first thing that '.\ e sliotild do is to ratify the
appointment of the
:iiti\e Committee. When the
convenrion v,as hcbl in Pitt-luirg Col. Logan kept tr. going so
fast that we didn't lia\e a ehanci: to holda meeting of th.e Board
of Mariagers thcie. -V^ y.iti kn'nv. a meeting was called m
Saratoga, and tliis is practv-ally the adjournment of that meet-
ing. But there was nr> meeiiiiir of the Board of Managers after
the election in Pitt=iuirg, .md before the year-b'-'ok was published,
and Captain Gro^s ti-'.iuvlit .it was very uniiMrtant that tlie F£x-
eentive Ci-'rnmittee ^li.n'.M appear in the year-book, and he and
I corresponded and V'ok tin- sense of the inembers of tlie so-
riety as best v. e could. I ihink we in some way got in commu-
nication witli most of thrm, and agrei-d upon the names as they
are in the year-boi.'k. It was an informal way of making the
appointment, but it was the only way th.at seemed open to us,
for we coujdn't get the meuibers together for a formal nieeting,
i he ConstituiKui requires that seven members of the Sjciely,
with the President, shall constitute th.e Executive Committee.
J lie Seven members that are printed in the year-book, and who
will constitute tlie Executive Committee are Hon. Franklin
Murphy, 01 New Jersey; William W. J, Warren, of New York;
Capi. Saimiel Eberly Gross, of Illinois; Gen. Francis H. .-Vpple-
ton, of Massachusetts; (jcn, Edwin S. Greeley, of Connecticut;
Charles W. Haskins, of New Yoik; John Paul Earnest, of Dis-
trict of Columbia. All the memi.iers of the Board tliat we could
get at were consulted about the appointment of these gentlemen,
and till agretd to tliem. If it is your pleasure, a motion is in
order to lormally appoint them as the Executive Committee.
It was moved and seconded that tlie appointment of the E.\-
ecuiive Committee, as named in the ytar-book, be ratified and
continued. Carried.
iNIR. LOG.-VN : No'v we are open for whatever other busi-
ness IS before tile meeting. 'J'he principal thing to be done i^ to
fix upon the place for holding the next annual congress. At the
adjournment of the Pittsburg meeLing the society ^vas dazed.
We thought we had done a pretty good thing w'hen we had
you in New York, and we were proud of it. Pittsburg made
-New "i'ork take a back seat, and nobody seemed to want to
take the contract to try to eclipse Pittsburg. But the society
has rallied, and while it was impossible at Pittsburg to get any-
body to suggest that we might come, we thought soir.e of hiring
a camp in the wilderness and liolding a meeting there. Now the
invitati(Tns come in so tluck and so fast we don't know what to
do with them. My friend, }.[r. Earner, of Washington, has
an ln^-itation concealed in his pocket, and Air. Wallace McLean
;s here to enforce it. Gen. Greeley, of Connecticut, brings a
most cordial in^dtation from the Connecticiu Society — J tlilnk
it i:? the largest society in the country, although Connecticut is
such a small state. I ha\-e a telegram this morning IrCiU Mr.
Batehelier, of New Hampshire, asking us to n-eet at Portsmo»uh.
I ha\'e just received a letter from General Alerrick. President of
the Louisiana Son-, asking us to meet ;it New Orleans. The
Minnesota Society say that they would be \ery glad to h.ave us
come to St. Paul. The Utah Society think we ought to come
to Salt Lake City, and the California Society has intimated thtit
there were two sides to the United States, I think that mcist
of the other states and territories would invite us if g;\en a
little more opportunity. Gentlemen, the meeting is yours.
.\.tR, LARNER: As you struck me first. I will have my say
first. With all the talk that has been made that New York
was nothing in coir.parison with Pitt-hurg. etc., that leaves
me to say this, wdiicti covers the -Aholc thiihg. and that is. that
we ha-reti't but one city in this nation. We ha\e a good many
places with large houses and many people, but we have but o.ne
city, and we think that Washington i> the place for the Na-
tional Society to meet th.is year, if not the following year. We
are prepared for you and want you to cune. I have'been to a
great many of your meetings, and the only thing that has maired
the pleasure of the eutertainments h.as been this, you h.ave always
'fictui in too great a hurry. If you come to Waihington wc don't
want you to come in and gii run the i;t xt day; wc want yon to

uc should let Washington see wdiat the}- can dei with uj next
year, and then put Ge'neral Greeley on his mettle and see what
he can do with tis the next j'ear.
MR. W'ARlvEN : In speaking of the facilities of Xe\v Hamp-
shire, my bu>ines.s frequently calls me to Portsntouth. and I
wish to say that they have one of the finest hotels in New
.England. It has a magnificent dining-room — hardly large enough
perhaps to accorani.odaie all the delegates. It is a delightful
old cit}-. in excellent location, being about cqui-distant from
Boston and Portland, and some time, if not next year, I think
we should be very glad to accept their invitation. I give you
that information because I think they base facilities to enter-
tain.
GEN. GREELEY: In regard to facilities. New Haven is go-
ing to entertain Tie.xt week ttn th.ousand peopb: outs'.de of the
citv, so we think we have facilities.
MR. EARNER: No place has facilities like Washington.
As you all know we liave the greatest number of facilities. We
ha\e more houses than we can fill.
JUDGE. HANCOCK: I don't represent anybody, and there
is nobody here to represent the place for which I intend to
speak. Rut looking at the good of the society, it seems to me
that if it is expedient, the best place to hold this meeting would
be in New Orleans. There is a large population, plenty of news-
papers. It is the representative eity of the South, and in tiie
South we need particularly to strengihen this society. Look-
ing at it from that point of view, it seems that it wou'd very
much strengthen us m the southern portion of our country —
our connnon country now.
There is another reason why it would be a goad tlvng to d.^
it. and that is that it is a most pleasant period to ge) South,
You can find no pleasanter journey than down there. it is
blooming witlt flowers, the warmth of the sun is just beginning
to be felt, and I have no doubt if it were not for the expense,
which is of course an item, we would probably have a much
pleasanter time down in New Orleans il:an anywhere eLe. There
are two objections. First, are th.ey cble to take care of us?
Is tliat society strong enough? I know in a case of the Penn-
sylvania Society, we hesitated as to whether we could take care
of the society when it came ti~> us. It might be that they wouM
do as we did, go out and get some a--istatice from our members.
They arc very loyal _and kindly. The other cibjectit^n is the ex-
pense to get there. With those twc) exceptions, I would very
Miiich prefer New Cbdeans on accouTit of the berent to the so-
ciety, than aii>- other place.
-^iR. IIASKINS: To meet Mr. H:incock's suggestion tliat it
WMuld be bet.ter for us to go South, T think New Orleans is a little
!;■ 1 far away and we wouldn't be apt to have a large convention
there The next pLiee t."' go which is 'adjacent to the s'~>uth is
Ua>hMigton. It is a natural meeting place, and as we are fav-
ored this year witti an invitation from the capital of this country,
it seems te> me that with all due deference to Cotmecticut. this
^e'cieiy ought to take advantage of its invitation from Wasldng-
'oii. It wil-l ilo the society more good to meet in Wa-hingion
than to meet in New Orleans or in Connecticut or in California.
^\ e will have a larger convention there. I am certain that it
^'. dl he a very creditable meeting in every way and it will meet
•^Ir. Hancock's sugge:>t!.,'n to go south, and we will have a
la'■^er convention than in New Orleans.
GEN. GREELEY: Tlie otie forcible argir.U'-nt that has uee
prestrued is ihe gi;..jd of the society, and that is what I has
niost at heart. I nur-t ccJnfL^s that the. capital of tlie uatiu
e>iight to be ij.e best place to meet but I will give way on or

ne:"t .April. We certainly appreciate as a Beiard tliese inviui
tic>iis from other cities, from New Haven, from PortSTuoutl
anrl from New Orleans, and I tliink we ought to express by
vote our thanks to the^e soceties. I should like to ha\'c th
pleasure of making a motion tliat tlie next Congress sheuil
meet in Washington
^vIR. ROSS: I am surprhscd that the gentlemen present ha\
overlooked otie point in the selection of the next Congress an
one great advantage in going to Washington.- and tb.at is i
passing through the state of Delaware, and therefore it give
me a great dea' of pleasure to secon-J th.e m''.tion of Mr. Clark.
AIR. LOGAN: Are you ready for the question? It is move
and seconded that the ne.xt National Congress of the Sons c
the American Revolution be held in the City of Washingto
and that the National Society accept the invitadon of the Di'
trict of Columbia Society to meet there. Carried.
COL. LOGAN: I move that the thanks of the .Board of }\[ai:
agers be extended to the other state societies for tlieir invitatio
to h.old the meeting there.
MR. LOG.VN : It is moved and seconded that the thank
of the Board of Managers and E.xecutive Committee be ex
tended to the State Societies, other than the District of Colun,
bia Society, who have invited lis to hold the next annual Con
gress in their states, and our regret that circumstances made ■
impossible for u; to accept their invitation for next year, bi
we hope to be able to do so at some future time. Carried.
It was moved and seconded that the thani;s of the Board c
Managers be extended to the District of Columbia Society fo
the invitation which wa-: so enthusiastically accepted.
MR. CLARK: The Congress in Detroit in iSgg, voted t
present medals to those members who served in ti;e War wit
Spain. There is some little difficulty in deciding who are, enti
tied to those medals. The Society voted that they should b
awarded only to members who were actually under service fror
the L'nited States. There were a mmiber of applications frci
other members. There were a number in Ohio who did goo
service to the state but were not United States officers. I
works all right to restrict the meda! to those wdio were acttiall
in the Uniied States service arid I simply brought it up to se
wdietber the comrniftee and .Board would continue that rule.
MR. GREELEY: I think it ought to be continued. It wa
fully discu'^;e,j at tlie time the resolution was ottered and passe
and I think we would better let it rest where it is. It is broa
enough. >
JUDGE WHITEHEAD: President McKmley was a membe
(jf our Society. I believe he held it in the highest honor. I
seems to me it would be no more than right that this Boar,
of Managers should pass a r(:s.)liition or resolutions in relatio
to his deatii and especially in connection with the society it
self. It was a high, lionor to ns. and he held ic to be a hig'
b.onor to himself.

MR. CORMSll: fkiulemen. prob.-diiy fhit ] wculd better
■rake some explanation as to the iiublication oi Uie wuri^.
As you understand, the coniuuUee of Nehicii Mr. Ro.-s is chair-
man, iiiet with great cucourameut at our last eongre--s in i'lits-
burg. It was resolved that he could have ihe privilege if he
would publish tlie work without any expen>e to them.
When 1 was at riti-.!niig, i'residvui-t .vueral l.o.uan said that
during his aduiinisiraliem he wanted tn perform one thing by
which he could be remembered, and he said th.at the publication
of this Register would bo tlie best tiling he could do. The book
is going through and President-Geu'Tai Logan i.- g'.nug to back
me up.
We have sent out to most of the states a circular asking tor
subscriiitions. We are going to give you a book tiiat u worth
about ^5 for $-^ It will be a book of soniethmg over i.jlkj
pages, handsomely illus4.rated. It will tal:e i,ooo page> to. give
the names and genealogy of the nu-mbers of the society.
liave sent out something about eight thousand circular-,
returns so far are beyond our expectations.
In New York State, 35 per cent, of its members have subscnljcd
as individuals. The Conunittee have set the price at S.^. so nov/
we are eirculari?:ing the individuals, and from the appearance of
things we will probably gee in three or four thousand siibscribcrs.
What we propose to do is to have th. '-e societies who have done
anything, turn in cuts, descriptions, etc. We want to m.ake a
history of the society, showing wliai has been done.
We think to put a copy of this bo^k invu the libraries v.'ill
vciy much increase our membership. We have subscriptions
from the following. Walter S. Logan, the iibranes of Connec-
ticut, Howard De Haven Ross,' Dela\rare, etc.
Any gaurantee that the states have made in the way of taking
a certain number of books they need not hold themselves respon-
sible for. hut we depend on them to do what they can towards
the dissemination of this book. Tn each stale there has been a
member appointed as the committee man of that state. From
him we ask a list of names of people whom he thinly- arc will-
ing to contribute to the the illustrating of the book. We have
to^pnt in pictures of President McKiniey, ..Admiral Dev.ey. etc..
and he is looking outside for subscriptions.
Tb.e resolution is as follows :
(Copy).
The Gen'.Tal Board of Managers and Executive Committee
of the National Society, in session at New York Oct. 14, I'Xir.
heartily endorse the Report of the publication Comm'ttee and
call on the State Societies to urge their membership to rnake
individual subscriptions to the work, and otherwi-e assist :n
its distribution.
We feel that this work will du more towards making the So-
ciety kno\sn and increasing its membership, than any other
effort yet made by the National Society. In view of tlie fact
that the cost of the National Register is detinitedy fixed at .-s^.oo
per copy, State Societies who have subscribed for certain num
bers at a ditTerent price, may modify or cancrl tli

IIRIGADIER-GENERAL THOMAS WILSON, U. S. A.,
who died in New York City, May 30th, lyoi, in the Oytb year of
iiib age.
GENERjiL II ILSON had been a member of this Society since
Pecember ijtii. 1891, by \irtue of his descent from \Villiaai
Moulder, Sr., a Lieutenant in tiio Continental Army during the
\inerican I^levoltitiori ; rr.d, %\ith the intermission of a single
year, had been a inembtr of the lic'ard of AL.iiagement since
I'ebruary. 1S04.
.A graduate of the Lnited States >ili!iiar\^ Academy at West
Point, he partici[i:ited in most of the g-reat battles of the .Vrmy
of the Potomac in the War for the Preservation of the I'nion,
and, by hi^ valiant services on the field of action, won the brevet
r.iiik of BrigaJu'i -General in both ihe Regular and VoltD'tter
.Iniiies of the LUited States.
Inspired by the highest ideals of patriotism, and devoted to
the Flag to maintain whose integrity he had risked his life, he
communicated his enthusiasm to others, and, by his counsel
and example, effecti\ely promoted the work of this Society.
His memory will aflectionately be cherished by hi; Compatriots,
who sorrow for the lost companionship of j t::(e American
citizcyi, a brave soldier, a Christian gentleinan, and an ever loyal

N- Y. C. C. D. A. R.
During the week wbeiein the Prvisident, Air. McKinley, lay
prone, stricken and suffering, the Nation was on its knees in
prayer for his recovery. Nciw th.it God Ints seen tit to take him
unto Flimself and "gatlier bini unto bis Fathers," the country
is bowed in an anguished sen-e of loss, and all classes of Ameri-
can citizens, — all men. women and children — grieve together.
Rememlicring that the Daugh.ters of the American Revolutioti
are descendants of tlie Fore-fathers who made this a Nation,
who died that it might live, it S'-enis not uniltting that memlicrs
of the Society D. .A. R. sli'.uikl testify their grief at the death
of the Nation's Head, bv v.e;iring an unostentatious evidence of

the Chapter wear a small badge of mourning upon the left breast,
for a period of thirty days from this, the dtite of the .President's
death, September 14. tgot. Such badge may consist ot a small
piece of crepe, or soft black ma.terial. pined by the insignia of
the D. A. R. or the pin of the N. Y.
miniature Flag of the Nation.
Commingling with the horror of
brought death to tin. Country's Chiet
of hH citizers, is a peculiar and poignant grief felt by zi ovieri.
One of their Sister-women is cruelly bereft — she may well cry
alouil : "Was e\'cr sorro\\ like uiue) my sorrow?" The lover
w hei became a husband, the husband v.lio remained a lO'.'er, the
man perfect in his relations to the woman, torn from the arnis
of a wife whose sole source of light and life he has been !
Let every woman pray for peace to that bereaA'ed heart I
On September 7, immediately following the sh.ooting of the
President, the Regent of the N. Y. C. CD. A. R.' sent the fol-
lo'vving telegram to Airs. AlcKinley:

please accept thanks for b.nh. Though of X. E. Loyalist Stock,
and a memljer of the "United Empire Loyalists' Association of
Ontarii,>," I w:is much interested in reading the SfmiT of '76.
aiid would like to know if the copies containing "A" and "h"
of the Genealogical Guide can =^11 be obtained., as my grand-
father's natnc was Andersrin. of Xew York, and grandmother
was a Butts, of Boston. Afembers of both families were promi-
nent .in church and other public matters late in i6qo, and early
in 1700.
A friend knowing me to ha\'e Johnson and Brent bio-"d in m>
veins, kindly sent me a clipiiing ciMitaining yijur article, wdiicli
d(e[ily interested me. I am srirry not to kno'A n:ore of thei-e
far away ancestors, but ha\c heard from my mother — long since
dead — tln.t her grandnioth'T was a daughter of Sir William
John-on and Molly Brant, and m an old history of Canada, 's
a qn.iint picture of Sir William, over \vhich on the niai-gm of
the page is written, "The father of Grandmotlicr iMitchell."
,Mv great-grandmother, a; "E.iizaLieth Pertrand.'' was married
vl think in .MontreaG, to Doctor David AJitchell. on tlie 20th
of JliIv. 1776. Dr. Mitchell was a native of Edinburgii, Scot-
I.md, and soon after his arrival in thi- countr\ was app,:<inied
Surgeon-General to the Indian Department of Canai.la. with
IiLadquar^crs at Mackinac, then a British .Fort. Ihe h.ouse he
built is, I believe, still standing, and is one of the "show places '
of that charming sumtner reso.rt. I have a sutall piece of the
carved wood taken from abi.n-e the mantel of e,r,e of tlie flre-
[ilaces. Dr. and Mrs. Mitchell had a large family, ail long since
dead. One son, James, an officer in the British X"a^'y. was
killed in -i . battle at sea. Their eldest datigh.ter, Louisa 'my
mother's mother), was born September 22. i~~~. married En-
sign, afterwards Captain Jai'ne- Alattliew Ha.milton. of H. M.
."th Foot and 7th Dragoons, X'oNemiier 15. T702. and she died of
con-umption in England December 23, tSo2. They were married
by Dr. Mitchell, wlio was a Justice of rhe P-.'a.'e. as tlierc were
no mimuvrs of any denonvination in thai part of rhe country
at that time. Soon after this the 'regmicit was orderci to
.Viagara. and they were there married hy tb.e Rev. R -bert .Ad-
dison in oid St. T\Lark's Miiitarv CJiurcii. I think the tlr-t

It was on t'ne mornin.:::;- of the 23d of June, 17S0. that
''■•e boriiiiir.i^ si'L;tial i;U!i on tlie Short Hills, announced
-nc afiproach of a strong;- force of tl'': enemy, anil called
the farmers of the region to join'lhe little army under
Gen. lireene, at Springfield, in resisting the attack.
Mr. Ihuen seized his gun and went to tlie iray, doing
Iiis j-art as one of th.' "dioj-nets"', as Knyphau;cn srylnj
them, whicli, esccuiced in cvcrv tree and bush, poured
a dead!) fnc upon the Britibh column.
?^Ir. P.iaien's litLle bo}'. lchal>od, tlien six years old,
was in seho.j! at the time of the alarmi. The school-
house was situated ujx'ii the spot where at present
stands the Madison Station of the Uebn are, j^acka-
wanna and Western Railroad. The teacb.er was the
Rev. Ebenezer Bradfi;>rd, pa-tor of the Presbyt;'rian
church, of lUittle Hill. His assistant in tlie school was
a young graduate of Pr'ncetou Ce.llege, named Ashbel
Green, the son of Rev. Jacfib Green, of Hano'\'er, famil-
iarly kne~io,n as "Pardon Green.'" Young Green d'S-
missed the school, seized a musket, and went to the
battle, v.lierc he di.-tingui.-lie'J. himself by conduct ^^■hich
won mention from the commander in Ins report of the
action. Ashbei Green became afterwarrls tlie Presidtnt
of I'rincton College.
Little Ichabod Brucn hurried Iv'me from rlie settool-
house and found that his motlier had tlie ox team be-
fore the door, and was loading it witii furniture to
remove to a place of stifely in the woods. Hanpily the
British were checked and flight wa^^ unnecessary. It
illustrates the dangers of tlie war which threatened th.e
people with the loss of ilieir homes. fcT wlierever tiie
British tmd Hessian:- went, thev burned every house.
The fa'^mers thus realized that the t^.i^'ht was ni:>t rirdv

THANKSGIVING HYMN.
Sung ac Yoik, Va., 1781.
N. J. SOCIETY, S. A. R.
IJynin sun;;- at the Tlia'.iksgivir.g celebration near
York, \'a., before the Division of .-vnierican Light in-
fantry, under tlie connnand of the ^Marquis de La Fay-
ette, Nov., 1781. The sermon was by Israel Evans,
A. jNL, Cliaplain to the troops of New Hampshire.
To him who led in ancient days
The J lebrew tribes, your anthems raise;
Tlic God who spoke from Sinai's hill
Protects his cliosen jjcuple still.
Not to ourselves success we owe
By help divine we crush'd the foe,
In sword and shield \vho vainly trust
Sliall soon be humbled to the dust.
How vain all arms, the shield or spear,
Unless the^'oul disdains to fear;
But terror must their hearts annoy
Who came to murder and destroy.
Those leaders fam'd, untaught to bow —
Where are those hostile captains now? —
The soldier rough, in steel arrayed,
Where is the sleeping soldier laid?
Lost ! — to the lands of darkness lied,
Or captive to your standards led,
Behold that boasting, bloody band
Who came to waste your native land.:
Praise Him who gives us to repel!
The powers of IJritain and of Hell,
W'ith thankful hearts his goodness own,
And bow before Jehovah's throne.
(Title page of Sermon.)
Discourse delivered near York, in \'irginia, on the me-
morial occasion of the surrender of the British Army
to the allied forces of America and France. By Israel
Evans, A. M. I. Samuel \ II, 12. Also preached,
Philadelphia, 13 Dec, 1781, Printed, Philadelphia,
1782. (46 pages.)
Rev. Israel Evans was at this time (Sept. 7. 1791)
minister of Concord, pastor of the Congregational
Church. He was a great admirer and friend of Gen.
Washington. It is related that in his last sickness,
being visited by Rev. Dr. ^McFarland. The latter
prayed for him : "That at life's close he might sit down
with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of
God." To which Mr. Evans audibly added, "and with
Gen. Washington, too." He died in Concord, N. H.,
March 19th, 1S07, in the 60th year of his age. Gradu-
ated at Princeton College, 1772. — X. H. Provincial and
State Papers.
Morristown, N. J., Nov. 6th, 1901.
Dear Sir and ( "umpatriot :
The Board of Managers, at its last meeting, dii-ected
the President to write each member of the Society, and
call their attention to the Register purposed to be pub-
lished by the National Association. In accordance with
that direction, I write this.
The Register will be a book of i.ooo pages, edited
by Mr. A. lioward Clark, General Registrar, and pub-
lished by Mr. L. H. Cornish, editor of the Spirit of
'76, under the supervision of the Committee on Pub-
lication.
I understand a circular has been mailed to every
member of our Society, which states, fully, what is pur-
posed to be printed, in the Register. I refer you to that
circular, to learn just what will be found in the volume.
You can rest assured that every promise made bv the
publisher will be performed.
The main feature of the publication will be the list
of members of the different State Societies, and their
genealogies, with names, alphabetically arranged, so
as to facilitate examination. This alone will make the
book invaluable. Besides there are other features, add-
ing interest and value to the publicstion; such a: the
histories of the State Societies, with illustrations of
monuments erected by them, and of liistoric revolution-
ary places preserved by them. For other matters con-
nected with the volume, I refer you to the circular.
The price of the book is put at the exceedinglv low
rate of S2.00, and it is very doubtful whether the pub-
lisher will be remunerated by that amount. It is tb.cre-
fore very important that the subscriptions should be
as tuuricrous as possible, and also, that subscribers
should at once send in their names. It is purposed to
publish the book so that it can be delivered by the 22nd
of February next.
I commend this publication to you and have no doubt
it will be a valuable addition to your libraries.
Yours, &c.,
JOHN W^HITEHEAD. President.

n"^ HE National Register of the Sons of the Atnerican
1 Revolution is meeting with great encourage-
ment in the mrndxT of subscriptions sent in by
the individual raeinbers.
The State Societies are not to be held to their former
subscriptions and can use their appropriations to sup-
])ly their State Libraries with a copy of the book,
tliis would be the best kind of recrniting literature. As
the bof'k will be in constant use for reference, and thiise
handling it would come to know what a membership
in the Sons oi the American Revolution tneant.
In several instances individuals have given coipies to
each library in their native State, others to a section
where they are interested. Some of the State Societies
have paid to have the illustration of some prominent
iiicrnber inserted in the work, and some States have
renieml.iered th.eir famous dead in the lilce manner.
Thic forms are expected to close tlie last eif IJecem-
her, so all matter intended for tlie worl: must be sent in
I'lfnve that date. It has beet] arran.ged to add to the
National Register the names of all new members, who
i"in. yjrcvious to I December first, and a large increase in
die membership is possible.

Empire State Sviciety Sons of tlie American Revolution,
ill Ve Ar.lient JJuriali Place witli tlie Nathan Hale
Scliool House in the b:ick;Tround.
The declicalion o^ the Nathan llale school house at
New LoncUm, Conn., June 17th, was in e\ery way a
success. Beautiful weatlier brought out a large crowd
to witness the military display and the military display
acted as a magnet to draw the crowd to where, under
the shadow of the old school, orators could instill into
the minds of their hearers the principles of our patri-
otic Societies, and show theni that some things, some
times,, were accomplished.
The exercises consisted of a march through the prin-
cipal streets of New Londtnn., by troops and members
of the Regular Armv. The Putnam Phalanx of Hart-
ford, in their contiriental uniforms and the members of
tile S. A. R. and S. R., quite a delegation of the Em-
pire State Societv were present with their colors.
The exercises at the school \sere opened with prayer
bv Rev. Edwin S. Lines. Chaplain Cf^nnecti'mt .S. A. R.
Ertiest E. Rogers, Presitlent Nathan Hale Chapter S.
A. R.. welcomed-the guests. The response au'l delivery
of the kevs of th.'e school house to the State Regent
D. .A. R. was by Ji.^nathan Trtunbull, Presidetu Connec-
ticut S. A. R.
Mrs. .'^ara T. Kinney, State Recent. acre[)ted kevs in

The Historical address was bv Proftssor Johnson, of
New York ; and the poem. "Tn Drimi I'eat andi Heart
Peat." was recited with nu'.ch. -pir't b.y Ma-ier Marcus
Ti'uvtir, (>f th.e Nathan. IL'de Ciranuner school.
"Mv Country 'Tis of Thee." was sum: and the b'^ne-
diction pronounced bv the Rev. S. L'. Plake, D. D.,
Chaplain Nathan Hale Cliapter S. A. R.
There are twci ev/nts in the history of our war of thr
RiAolntlon wliieli st.and out conspicuous as an exhi-
bition c)f personal courage and patriotism. One event
was the charge of the Maryland l-'our Hundred into the
face Lii' the victorious I'.riiish Annv, to i>ive the rest of
the American Army time to escajie. (Jf course they
were defeati^d. after lea\ing two-thirds of their mmilier
dead upon the held, but an liotn was gained which had
been called the hour mo,-,t important in our hi.-tory. for
ii was within tliat hoin that the ar.ny escai)cd which
afterwards won American independence at Saratoga,
Prin.ceton. Trenton, King's i\L)uniain and Yorktown.
AnKing the soldiers wlio wrre sjAod u\ tiiis charge, of
the T\larylanJers, were several Connecticut regiments,
many men of them ancestors of Sons 01 the American
Revolution in Connecticut and New' York.
The second event was the mission of Nathan Hale
within the British lines. Whatever Connecticut owed
to Maryland — and it was much — for the hercdsm of
Maryland's Eom- Hundred, she paid back with interest
when Nathan Hale--one of the bravest and brighiest
of Connecticut's sons — stepped ])roudly up to an igno-
miin'ous death for a glorious cause.

SPJIUT OF '76.

The courai:;o of Nathan Hale was of the subliinest
siiri. There ,11 e many :urn v/lio can face a cannon's
nii'iiih \^ilhlllll f!iin hini^. 'J lirt^: aie ukuu' nun who
ciiuhl lead a f(jrlorn lione ;in.'l sliout in trinni])!-! as they
fill. There are map.y men wlio are capahle of perform-
ini:^ the mo; t lierojc of (leeds njv.in llic battV-fieKI, hint
tliere are few men \'. ho are wilHng' to face, •-:-ithont
riinehincf, death npon the scaffold ccloryin;^ in the op-
portnnitv. Tl is jieeuliarlv ajipri i|M-iate that tlie Sons
of the American Revolution slionld be the ones to
commemorate this deed.
Tt is also peerdiarly af>i>ropriale that the passive in-
strnment of this eeleljTation shouM be a school honse.
\\'iierc, if not in the school where liis character received
its earliest formative infhiences and his mind acqnired
that clearness rif vision which made' him see his dntv so
ch.'arly and. foiii.v it so nnninchinL;'ly : where, if not in
this school honse did Nathati Ifale become the man
vrho conld be the £'Tea1est hero of American history.
Tl'ie conntry school honse has done n.iore for Con-
necticut and for New Fnp^land than we are wont to r,'ive
it credit for. If yon ask me wliv men have been able
to go forth from this New Enc;'land of onrs to all parts
of the nation and the world, carrving character and
civilization of the wilderness, th.e desert, the )>ra!rie arid
the plain; why, when men of Ne^v England have gone
forth they have made their impress upon everv com-
munity they entered and every society of which ihcy
became a part; why, when men of New England have
gone forth to build up the distant corners of the lanrl,
they have so often been sent back to represent new
commtmities and new States in the national congress
an.d in the public ciumcil. T tell v^u it is because here in
New Encrland we ha\e had frr.m the time tliat Nev,-
England first began, the cotmtrv '^chool house.
It has been the school house that has built new Con-
nect'.cuts on the bank of tlie Ohio and the IMississipni.
on the slopes of the Rcickv Mountains atid on the
shores Crf the distant sea. The comitrv school house
has been the most potent agency of our civili::ation.
All New England may claim the credit for the school
house, but Connecticut mav claim it in an exceptional
dcp-rce. Iti no spot upon the earth's surface were the
plain, average peor)le I'lf the community so well edu-
cated one hundreil and fifty vears ago. as here in this
colonv of Cotmecticut.
Yott do well to preserve the school house where
Nathar. Elale received the first impress unon his char-
acter and th.e first inspiration for his mind.
Whenever there ha> been work to dr> for humanitv
and libertv on land or sea. in peace or in war. Connec-
ticut men have been found reidv and v'iiHnc" to under-
take it. And the reason whv Connecticut has been
able to do so much and to exerci'^c- such an influence in
the nation 'flud in the world, has been (hie. mnre than
to anv other ca''.se. to' the cnnnlrx' school hou-e, w'n'.-h
has riotted her liillsirjes atid poitlrd in her ■v"ille\'^. winch
ha-; been f'^^und evervwhere and -.dwnv; within th'^ reach
■''f e\-(;fv bi'iv and ^drl brirn \>-ithin the S'ate. "N'imi are
e':-lfbrai"inr^ to-dav. not onlv the man who rirr.ndb- Wi"^nt
fo his death f''>r his countrv and fi^r libertv. bur t1;e
i"<innecticut srho(-il house and ail .that it has done for its
coiuitry and for liberty.
In this United States of onrs. there are to-dav ncarh-
-^o.coo members of the various clnpter.s of the
Daughters of the American Revolution — a noble ..jo,ooo.
We have scarce to, 000 sons. The onI\ fair conclusion
is that the woiiien C'f America h.ave four, tinvjs the
patri itism and ci\ic virlUL- of tlie wn-n. Wlien I
learned to-day tliat the Nathan Hale school house was
to be delivered to tlie State Regent of tlie Daughters
of th'o Anurican Rex'olution for safe keeping, I felt sure
that that school house was in safe hands, safer in the
hands of 40,000 Daughters than of 10.000 sons.
A\ hat liand. if itiI that wdn'eli rocks tlie cradle and
guides th.e intant footsteps and the mfant mind, shoidd
have charge of the school house whiich, in the evolution
of tlie man and the woman, is the tiatural successor of
the nursrry? I am siu'e that Nathan Il.ale was inspired
to do his heroic deeds because he was trained, Ijy a nolile
mother, as well as because he received his education
from a faithful schoobniastcr in a conntry school h.onse.
I ani ;;ure that the man wlio niarclied with a (jUick step
and stout heart to the meanest of death? was a man
who iiad received his in-oiration from a patriotic
woman. I am sure that this nation is safe wdnle there
are 40,oc>o Daughters of the American Revolntion
within her bord.er?, and while the patriots among its
mothers out-r.tmibcr so much tlie patriots among its
fathers.
All honor to the patriotic women of this land, v.dio
hai'e formed tlie patriotic organizations, to some of
which vr.u are committing the custodv of this school
house. All honor to the 40,000 women from wd'iom the
patriots of the next generation w ill get their inspiration
for deeds like that of Nathan Hale.

L'INDEPENDANCE DE L'AMERIOUE.
The French Treaty of Amity and Commerce.
How it was brought about by tlic news of Burgoyne's
Surrender at Saratoga.
The Treaty of Amity and Comuicrcc, between France
and the Ignited States was signed Februarv G. I'jy?^. li
had been in process of negotiation for many months.
mainly under the management of the immortal FrankUn,
Minister to France.
News of the Surrender of Burgoyne at Saratoga,
Oct. I/, 1777, finally reached Paris. That settled it.
Immediately the signatures of Benjamin Franklin. Silps
Deane and Arthur Lee were attached, upon the part of
the American Republic, and of Gerard, [Minister of Fi-
nance, on the part of France.
The translation of tlie description is to the'effect that
"on one- side is the City of Eostnu and the People .of
America assembled at the pier holding their hands to ;hc
Frigate of the King, whirh brought to that jiort the treaty
which assured their independence."
It is curious, interesting history that the Frig.'ite Bo -ton
did set sail for America with tl;e Treaty. The instruc-
tions to Captain Samuel Tucker. Commander, dated April
^3' V/S- contained these concluding words: —
"Given for a cruise at Tucker's discretion either al
the entrance of the Baltic or on the Banks of Newfound-
land. You will take care that these orders may not, ir
case of misfortune, which God forbid, fall into tlie Hand:
of the Enemy. \\'e wish you a prosperous voyage anc
are Your Humble Servants
B. Franklin.
Arthur Lee.
John Adams."
Tl;e landinp; of the Frigate and the reception of the in-
spiring news, is curiously but liappily portrayed by oui
friendly French arti.^t. who doubtle:-"s drew entirely upor
his imagination in its execution, and, in so doing, ha;
created a desire, perhaps on the part of ot'iers. to know
who it \\as. by name, tliat thus left upon canvas sue!
evidetices of his dcvcition to the cause of American in-
dependence.

CORNWALLIS D \Y CELEBRATION BY THE
CHOSETTS SOCIEIA' S. A. R.
M.ASSA-
Historic Lexington welcomed the inv.asion of ten score pil-
grims yesterday. Th.ey were sightseers, biut on exploring the
treasure chambers of coloni.il tradition and brushing the dust
from the monuments of re\-olutii .narv hi.-tory. These in\aders
were men and women — friends, pii,c..,is and members of the
Mas;a< husett_> Society of the S.ni-, r,f the .American Revolu-
tion— and all morning their e:iijer feet crunched the d:-ad le.ives
of the olde.>l battlefield of the war, and wended the ancient
streets and lanes as they s.,ught the centenarian home-; and
meeting places of the "embattled farmer-" of '75.
Afterward they gathered in the rdd I'nitarian Cluirch and
listened to an address by the venerable ivov. Carbon .\. Staple^
and later ate dinner at the town hrdi. whicli. in turn, rang with
spiendid oratorical tribtues, in full accord with, ■'the time, the
place, and the occasion."
It V, as Cornwallis day. One hundred and twentv years a^'o.
in Yorktown. Va., the British lord and soldier had yiel.led his
sword and command to Washington, and the independence of
thirteen colonies was assured. In keeriing with the dav, the
Massachusetts Society invited its friends to join it in a field
day. Lexington v-a> the Mecca, and early niornin- cars
brought the crowd to town Iiy 10:30 o'clock. In cha'rge of the
party was the Rev. Mr. Staples, who knows Lexington as well
as any other of its residents. Lender his leadership the excur-
sionists were taken from the Munroc tavern to the battlefield,
or common, where four monuments of stone and bron?e be-
speak the events of over a century and a quarter ago.
Fremi the Common. iMr. Staples tooK- his party down to tiie
cdd burying ground, where his excellent narrative was .nipple-
mentcd by remarks from the society's president. Dr. PVancis
H. Brown, who this summer made a complete inventory of the
700 or more stones v.Iiich mark the gtaves of early patriots.
'1 hence to the belfry, where the first alarm was som'ided. then
to the Jonathan Flarrington hon-e. and up the street to the
Hancock-Clark landmark, where, in the lower chamber was
shown the bed on which Samuel Adams .was sleening when
Paul Revere roused him in the earlv dawn of the 19th of April,
1775- The old tree, planted by the Rev. Jonas Clark, just across
tlie way. was pointed out. with its spreading branches shed-
ding its hundreilth har\-e-t of leaves, or m.ore.
In the Lmitarian Church, where the partv assembled at noon.
Pje-ident Brown welcomed the guests and thanked the reeent
of the Lexington chapter of the Daughters of the .American
Revolution, who had adorned tiie nulpit with a big national
flag and a bunch of rose = . Then he presented Mr. Staoles.
who read a highly interesting riaper on "Flow the News of the
Battle of Lexington was Received in England."
His paper showed that the first news to reach Eneland came
from the Americans, who. anxi(.'ius to be seen in a favorable
light, sent depositions to London in a shio which sailed from
Salem four day.s after Gen dice's report had cone, but which
beat the other into England by eleven days. The news made
a creat sensation in London
Two paners which favored the cause of the colonists were
sued for libel by the government. One man, the Rev. T'-ih;i
Horne. who championc-' their cause and who isstied an anneal
calling for fiinds for the .American widows and ornhans of
tlie dead patriots, who sent Ptoo therefor to Dr. Franklin, and

VALLEY FOUGE AS A NATIONAL PARK.
Tl is ju'iposed that Concrv ss ^hall cstaMi-'h a national park
at \\alley P'orge in view of the failnre of the State o; Peini^yl-
vania to carry ottt it? plans to con\-crt this hi-toric ?p>'t into a
state park. To some exletit. l)ican=e of the very inditTerence of
man, nature's kiruHy firovi^ions have preserved revoUitionary
sitc.> and the mementoes on the Valley Forge Itills, and tmdotrbt-
cdly many of these will be revealed when once an effort i- made
to clear away the dense woods. TTad the land here been sn'table
for farniing, e\ery vestisrc of the earthworks \\-oiild. -ivithoiit
OLiestion. have disappeared lonp agvi. as did the more advanced
lines on less sterile ground. But the main body of the army
spent the months from December. 1777. to June, 1778. on the
rujiired, stony slopes where only cheslnut and cedar trees and the
trailing arbutus find sustenance.
On this slonv land to-day are most of the visible revolutionary
remains, including F"ort Washington, Fort Huntingdon, and about
a half-mile of earthworks. The farmhouses ocrupied as head-
quarters by Wayne. TvTnhlcnberg, A'arnnm. and Stirling also re-
main, being included within a territorv of about six sqttare miles.
Nov.- the villaee of Valley Forge is gradiiallv sinkincr into peace-
ful decay. The original forge along Valley Creek in the
pass between !\Iourit Joy and 'Mount Misery was abandoned
long ago, but several textile mills for a time gave the place a
prospect of prosperity. One by one. hov.'ever. all were shut down:
a large part of the former populace departed, and the commercial
spirit in no way now disturbs the hallowed memories of Valley
Forge.
AN OLD LIBRARY.
The earliest library iri New York of v.hich we have any rec-
ord belonged to Jonas Bronck, for whom the Borough of the
Bronx was named, though the spelling has been corrupted. He
was ope of those worthy but unfortunate ^fennonites who were
driven from their homes in Holland to Denmark by religious
persecution. He v, as a brave and enterprising vour.g man.
and gained rapid promotion in the army of the King of Den-
mark, who was very tolerant t^nvard the sect known as IMennon-
ites. He served as commander in the East Indies until 16-38,
when, with others of the persecuted, he «et sail for America,
and his name first appears on the records the following year,
when he receives a larce grant of land in Westchester Coimty
from the Sachems of Ranachque.
We are quite too apt in the=e latter days to glorify the es-
tates rather than the qualities of our forefathers. Jonas Bronck
was simply a brave, sturdy young Dutchman, who came here
to better his prospects and escane the dan.gers that attended the
reli<,'!ou3 viev\-s he held, and with the inborn stubbornness of the
Dutch woidd not .sive up. Hi- library contained the fr'llowing
volumes: Two Schatkamors ('Treasuries.) small folio: Petis
a Piani : Danish Child's book: Veertich TatTereelen Van Doots,
f'jo pictures of death"): one volimie by Simon Golaert : Bible
Stories: Danish Calendar: View of the Major Navigation: 18
old printed books of Danish and P'utch authors: 17 manuscript
hooks: Bible, folio: Calvin's Institutes: Ballengerus : Schulte-
tus Dominicales: Moiin=ri Praxis, qtnrto ; German Bible, onarto;

nil ire towards brinqing into pron:inence the Society of the
Sons of the Anic'dcan Revolution th.an anyihing else.
B'/cauoe these functions are usuadly well vvritten up by
die press, and tlie yieople become interested in ib.e ob-
'ccts for which the Society stands.
When the pul)lic is tlius interesteil, the recruiting com-
mittee should send cut their literature and get those who
are desirable and eligible to become members, a large
riienil.iership will enable the Society to do more good in
die work it is organized for than a limited number can
liope to do.
AXC)THER factcir, and ore that is too often neglected,
is the \\Tuk of the Entertainment Com-
n'ittee. This committee should be encouraged to
make the regular meetings so attractive tiiat the mera-
''ers will make it a point not to miss attemjing them, and
we know of no better attraction than tlie presence of tl'.e
ladies. A noted judge at one of the n:eetings of the
^'^ns of the .Vmerican Revolution told tlie writer tliat h.e
diould not have been there that night, as he had to ne-
-dect a political meeting which he should have attended,
•'111 it not have been for the women of the family, who
• • M'sted on his acci^mpauying them to the society meeting.
'"Other member in\iied some of his relatives to attend
ii • of these s'^cial Gatherings, with the result that six new
■•umbers were adddl to the society.
M
■\I\E your mi'Ctiugs pleasant, give tliem variety.
The same oiJ exercises soon beconie monoton-

We have
on ou r
he most piormncnt men in
America, and although th.ey are bu-y men of affairs, they
are always willing to lend tlieir intluence in any laudable
object \>.e may undertake.
As every society has anu>rig its members some niis-
guiiied energetic ■workers v, ho are willing to do all the
labor fi.^r the society, tliey should be recognized and up-
held for the good they do, and should receive encourage-
ment, and not be frowned down by the more prominent
au'l les;. ^■igorous members.
Jt is tlie small details well attended to that make the
harmonious cliniax.
OX' another page we print a report of the condition of
the X'atirnal Ivcgister of the .Sons of the American
Revolution, which we supposed would be ready
for the press January ist, but owing to the delay In having
the copy revised bv the Registrar-General A. Howard
Clark, will not be completed until Feliruary ist. Mr.
Clark is personally revising this work and can not trust
it to other hands, and v/il! not let it go out until he is
satisfied that it is accurate.
The work' has been a great undertaking and will be
one worthy of the Societ}'. ^
Any memlter in good standing m.ay have an illustra-
tion or historical sketch of his ancestors or himself in-
serted bv paying for it. Each member will have his
record as compiled li\- tlie Registrar-General inserted free,
but many have asked for additional data, which it would
not Ic fair to give them at the expense of others.
Some ''1' our prominent members have expressed indig-
nation tliat they were not to be thus represented free of
expense, and they have talcen the stand, tliat what they
have done for the Society entitles them to tni? privelege.

A new monument of classic simplicity and purity of

that adi>rns tlie "}iIor,umeutal City."
This last, the gift of the Maryland Society, Sons of the
American Revolution, rises sheer from iNIouut Royal
plaza in a spot apparently designed for some such adnrn-
mcnt, and its fnrmal presentation was an event which on
yesterday afternoon w: s signalized by nu'tnorable an<l im.-
posing ceremonies, participated in by hundreds of de-
scendants of the heroes of the Revolution, representing
patriotic societies of I^L'irvland and "lister States of the
primal Confederation, by the militia of the State and other
military oragnizations,. marked by tlie booming of g'uns
and the crashing of bands, and witnessed by a great
throng of citizeuo.
Thus 'Mar\dand join^ at last other States of theOriginal
Thirteen ti^ "sinu arni-^ and the itien" who, in tlie soul-tr^'-
in.Cf times of the Rcvolutii>n dared all for freedom, and'
won a heritage fcr their posteritv l)-'vrnd recki.ming for

the Fifth Reg-inn-nt I'and gave all of color-effect that
could l>c dcsirid. V:iv along Mount Royal avenue above

han-lsome unifin-ms of the h'^iftli, the dressy blue of the
Fourth, and the ever attractive ,garl) of the Naval Bat-
talion, and, mingling- with, them, the well-known uniform
of the Fifth's X'ettr.ms and the soUlierly c^aib of Wterans
of the Civil A\'ar. Mounted policemen added a finishing

TATION.
The climax of the memorable ceremonies came with
the acceptance of the shaft by Hon. Edwin Warficld. pres-
ident of the TvVarvland Society, from Col. AVilliam Ridge-
ly Griffith, chairman of the monument committee, and its
immediate presentation bv '^\v. \\'arrield to Acting Mavor
Henry Williams. The address of iMr. Wariield. of ac-
ceptance and presentation was as follo\\-s:
!Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Monument Com-
mittee :
It is with pride that I receive, f^-^r the ATaryland So-
ciety of the Sons of th.e American Ivevolution, this beau-
tiful monument, so successfully completed under your
supervision. You have done your work well and have
earned the thanks and gratitude of every member of our
society.
To vou, Colonel Griffith, is due more than our grati-
tude and thanks. But for yom- patriotic zeal this mon-
umert wadd ha\e never been built. For ten years, with
unswerving' con^tancv and unspaiing self-devotion, you
have labored to perpetuate in an endiudng memorial and
symbol the deed? of the patriots of ^Maryland who aided
so sienallv in founding tins great Repuldic. Your re-
ward, sir, i'; this glorious consumniation, hailed with so
much delight by us all to-dav, and the applause and com-
moTidation of vour compatriots and the people of your
native State.
Personallv. and on behalf of our society, I coneratulate
you upon what vou have achieved and thank you for what
you have done for the c:u-e of patriotism.

MR. V/ILLT'vMS' ACCF,Pr.\NCE.
Acting Ma\'0r Heni-'y William
umcnt on behalf of the city, said, in part
I esteem it a high honor to have been selected, in the
absence of the Mayor, to accept for the city this beautiful
work of art vchicli gives to Baltimore another reason for
the n'ime it has so lon;^- had of "the JNIonumental City,"
r.nd. in the natne of th.e people, to thank you for it. Balti-
more ho!;ored herself in erecting the first monument to
the mem.ory of the great hero, George Washington.
.Monuments have been built to the memory of the dis-
tinguished generals and leaders, but tliis is the first time
we have honored with a proper micmorial all the Revo-
lutionary heroes.
The day selected for the unveiling of this rtionum.ent is
most appropriate, for, on the 19th day of October, 127
years ago, in the port of .Vrnapolis, the ship Peggy
Stewart \\as burned by her owner at the command of
the patriots, who openly and without disguise had pre-
viously throvcn overbioard the tea thr.t had been imported
against the rules of the Continental Congress. This
monunicut will be an object lessor, to us and to the gen-
erations to come after us to show that i)atriotisir. and
in accepting the mon-
."c ot courtrv are hnnored b
11
all, ami that the self-
eeds and dies for his
denying and stdTering hero who
country is held in grateful remembrance. It wdll also be
sn incentive to us to so honestly and faithfully admin-
'-^ter the gxnernmait that we may hand down to the gen-
eratiors to come after us the noUc heritage received bv
'>i3 from ou.r fathers, witli its glory untarnished and with
our flag still waving o\er a free, brave and patriotic peo-
!>le.
MRS. DOX.\LD M LEAX, THE SILVER-VOICED.
President Warfield.in.a graceful speech introduced
•'[r^. Mcl.oan as a 3>f.iry lander, though now a daughter
''■'- the Empire State by adoption. ""Vou all know her."
-e said, "and .niust love and respect her. not only as one
■' f the most patriotic and brilliant women of dear old
-'dryland, but for the relation she bears to that noble eld
^■'"■■•i'an. Judge J.din Ritchie, of Fred.erick." Mrs. Mc-
■-'^an was, before her- marriage, Mi-s Eniilv Ritchie,
'ly-ighter of Judge John Ritchie, and a ni.:ce of Judge
■'•".crt RiLchie, the latter occupying a seat or the siand
J -ar hei. Mrs. McLean smilingly ar:-e and cracefullv
■' -ce[)ted the enconiums showered upon her bv President
Vvnrfiold.
Mrs. .McLean was handsomel) ginvnej in a .st}li:.h suit
of black taffeta, witii touches of while, a shoulder ca))e
wf ihiiVy plaiting,-. >'i tait'eta and chiJl'Mii and a medium-
sized tiKpu: of black- and white m.a!iiie. In her hand, witli
a bunch ';f red and while rrjses, she carried a small silk
flag, which she has held in all her speeches East, West,
.X'orth am! .S^iutli. and which, cons.'nuently, she says rep-
resellt^ to her the entire countr)-.
I M.VNY HONORS.
Covering the front of her corsage were the numerous
badges, mai;y of them of exquisite workman■^biI), which
ha\e been presented io her. Conspicuous among them
was th.e big siher laurel wrealli, a facsimilie of those with
whicii the orators of anci'MU Greece were crowned, and
which was presented to her by the New Yorlc Chapter of
which she is ivegent, in t"I.;en of her oratorical abilities.
A handsome insignia of the Datighters of the American
Revolution set with uinmoiuls was also the gift of Airs.
McLean's own chapter. C)ccupying" tlie place of honor
in the center of the laurel wre;ith was the bado,e pre-
sented to Mrs. McLean Iw the h'ifth R.Lgimeni \ eieian
Corps of New York, attachicd by an enameled pin giveii
bv an ofitcer of the old Kearsarge .Vssociytion in 2\lassa-
ciiusetts. Other interesting badges were tlie v/hite star
of the Mary Washington Association, the badge present-
ed at the time of the unveiling of the Key rvlonument, a
small goM medal presented by Raima, the head of tiie
Cuban Junta in New York just previous to th.e outbreak
of the Spanish \\'ar, aiiel many others, each implying a
compliment to LIrs. McLean's ability r-s a speaker and
as a recognition of her i.mportant assistance in various
patriotic movements all over the country.
MRS. m'lE.VN's .-\DD1CE.sS.
JMrs. McLean's address was, in part, as follows:
It goes without saying, Mr. President, that all who are
here are glad to be here, and to some the day comes with
peculiar happiness, because 10 them it is the realization
of a patriotic dream — the tangibility of a moment long
hoped for- — and there are here distinguished guests, as is
the President-General of tlie Society of the Sons of the
•Miierican Revolution from the Empire State wdiich I iiov/
claim as mine; but amid them ail I think there is not one
to whom this day gives such poignant pleasure, no one
Vvdio is so fervently glad as am I to he here, because I
have come home. Are you all patriots ? So, I trust, am
I. Do you revere the heroic dead? So, indeed, do I. Do
\ou strive and so live in these days as to be worthy tlie
undying heritage of those vdio have bequeathed their
Revolutionary blood to us?
Thus do I strive, but beneath all this exalted senti-
ment stirs one tenderer, personal feeling — the feeling ol
a daughter who has come home to her father's house.
Into the ocean of this day's patriotism run a thousand
rivulets of personal associatiion and affection. L-p in the
zenith of this day's glory, behind the glowing sun. but
always burning there, are a multitude of silver stars which
symboliz..^ the unquenchable memories of my happy
youth. And so I have come hom.e, 'and as evidence that
the giddy, glittcrir:!?-, opulent city, New York, which now
claims me as its denizen — "a citizen of no m.ean citv" — I
V. culd assure you that Fifth avenue has never eclipsed
North Charles street in my regard.
But I w-otdd be an ingrate were I not to express rriy
appre-ciation, my true aCcctior; for tiie great Em ire
State, which has so war.'^dy welcomed me. v/hicli ha-
called me it'? own in mv worb: an 1 mv energies, and to

The "jMaryland Line." dead to-da\, yet deathless,

'i he "i\lar\land Line"' loriuod of mortal man, iransiorm-

And Air. Lresiderit, your who bear th.e honored name
of Wanield; wdieii your ancestor forced Captain Stewart
to light tlie torch which burned the "Leggy btewart," he
lighted yet anoth.er torch. As Scottish cmeftams m days
of old kindled the battle tiie^ from hill to hill to warn of
coming war, so did the torcli Warheld forcea into btew-
art's nand cause the llat-ne of war to glow on .Maryland's
green-walled hills and light the country through its dark
years to triumphant victory.
But do you think that because ALir) land bore sucii he-

so. i:.terual youth is on her brow — jo\ ful fecundity witii-

land gladly bears in these latter days a noble son, ar.d
'■remembers no more the anguish" for joy tliat such a
child Cometh into the world. She whhngly lends !:im to

Alaryland gives anoth.er son to the old line, a Alaryhnd

Naught can harm him, for all hi^ cuuntry-peoplc rise

So, great and beloved Maryland, rest serene upon

Chew aniJ Hon. Lr.mcis Lutiuun Stevens.
It originally called for a monument to the assc)ciation
oi freemen, but before aggressi\'e work was actua!!}' be-
gun, the pnrjiose of the erection of the memorial was
changed, airi the rnonumcni; was directed to be inscribed ;

This committee prepared and presented the original
bill in tiie l^egislature of 1S9J of Maryland, asking for a
Slate appropriation, lliis bill was passed by both houses,
but vetoed by the Governor in tlie interest of economy.
Tills same Legislature passed tlie enabling act authoriz-
ing the IMayor and City Council of Baltimore to make an
appropriation,
UND.yuXTED KY FAILURE.
Noth.ing daunted by their failure in 1S92, the society
had passed by tlte Legislature of 1S04 •'Another bill appro-
priating $5,000 to be used in the erection of a monu-
ment to the patriots in f-he Recohuionary War from
Maryland. This oill was signed by Governor Frank
Brown. Durir.g the year 1894 the City of Baltimore also
aj)pro[iriated $5,000 for tlie same purpose.
Li 1892 a .Bazaar and Monument Committee was
formed and a bazaar held at the Fifth Regiment Hall, and
though attended with untold labor, its only effect was to
bring before the people of tb.e state the zeal of die so-
ciety. Financially it was a failure.
In 1S92 and 1S93 a subscription fund was started, the
original subscribers to which were Willianj Ridgelv Grif-
fith, Edgar G. Miller. Meredith Ho:d Griffith, R. C. Mac-
gill, William T. W'alters, W. P. Clotworthy, Eugene Lev-
ering, James A. Gary, Douglas Hanson Thoinas. Ross R.
Winans, James .\. Gary &: Co., Robert A. Woclridge,
Henry Sonncb(jrn, Michael Jenkins, of Baltimore c^.ant-
ty, and others. In t.^96 tlie committee increased to nf-
teen, wdio raised over $1,200 dollars by popular sub-
scription, chiefly from members of the society.
In the meanwdiile the society w.-as knocking at the doors
of Cons:re5s. Twice was the bill introduced: tv.dce did
it pass the Senate: twice was it favorably reported by
the House Committee, btit eacb; time tiie Speaker refused
to call the bill up for vote.
Tiltl WelRl< iUIGUN".
In the year igoo tlie Committee of Fifteen were dis-
charged, they having failed to agree on a plan for a
nnnnment, and a new committee oi five was dop'")ir.ted
by Hon. Edwin W arneld, with in^trtictions to .proceed
with the erectio'.i of the nionunient with the funds on

luit prouder of none than ot the sliaft \vhich the Txlary-
land Son.s of the American Re\ohuion reared a few years
ago in Prospect . Park, in the Borough of L'rooklyn, in
lienor of Maryland's heroic dead who fell to save tl.e
American army.
It i.s co::iparatively ea^y — dangerous howmuchsoever it
niay he — to follow the bugle-note of victory and inatch
the belching guns from a flying foe. The ^Maryland reg-
iment went down to almost certain death with the knowd-
edge that their army was defeated, and with only a hope
that they might, Ijy their sacrihcc, gain an hour in which
it mrght escape. They gained th;;t iiour, and it has lieen
truly said that it was tlie most im;>orlant liour in Amer-
ican history, pehaps in the histi.r}' rf tlie world.

The army that endured the w inters at Morristown and
\'al!ey Forge; th.c army that w.'.u the victorv at Sara-
toga; the army that won at Tdcnton and I'rincetou; the
army that fought at hhand\wine and IMonmouth ; tiie
army that won at Kings Bridge and Cowpens and York-
town, was saved by the willing sacrifice oi the patriotic
sons of ^Maryland.
You came to Xcw York to rear a monument in our
beautiful park; the least that we can do is to come to
Maryland and h.elp you dedicate the monument that you
are rearing in vour own State.
When \\ ash.ington was leading the armies of the Rev-
olution, the United States, which th>at army was striving
to create, consisted of only a narrow strip of land along
the Atlantic seaboard from Maine to Georgia. Wdren 1
was a schoolboy the Umted States had come -to extenvl,
so the geography said, from Penobscot to the Rio Grande,
and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It now e.Ktends
from. Porto Rico to the Orient, and from Yukon to

A- N.\TION'.-\L C0XTR.\ST.
When the battles of the Revolution were fought we
were only 3.000.000 people; to-day we ar-- So.oo0,OOO.
When the War of the Revolution was won, and we com-
^lenced our national life, we were one of the weakest na-
tions of the earth. To-day we are withcut doubt the
strongest. When tlie War of the Revolution was ended
'•_'-e Were one of the poiipest of nati'.-ns ; to-day we are by
'■T the riche-t i'>f them' all. And wdiat has brought al^out
■he change? Wdiat makes our nation great? It is not
■^"ii'ljly the increase in its territory; it is not sinipdy the
"icrease of its population. The greatness of our nation
'""n-ists in the memory of th.e heroic deeds of the past
^•>d the struggle to do still greater deeds iri the present.
It Wcib the n'emory of the Maryland regiuient on Long
island that inspired Jackson at .sew (..hiean,-, Schley and
Jlob>.jP. and b-hafter and b'oe..-evelt at Santiago. Unr
richest heritage is not oiu' ])ruperLy or our possessions,
but the rec'jru ol the heroi'-m ol our fathers.
B'Jt .1 should be sorry, iiidee'l, if an_\' Son of the .Vmer-
ican. Jve volution was moved b\ riis [)ride of the deed.^ of
tlie past to neglect tlie duties of the present, i am not
one of tho-e tiiat believe that th'; time for patriotism is
past. 1 thmk we have more iroublous questions to settle
to-day th.an our ancestors ha-l in the Revolution. 1 tliink
there are dangers that confrc'ut us worse than George HI.
1 tliiiik llicre are proldems that we lun e to settle that
may give n^ niijre trouble than ever the Ihitish Army
gave to the soldiers under War-hington. I tliink w itli ihiC

I am an optimist. I belie\-e the ]..ord made the world

tract, I am :in optimist, ar.d beheve that the iv.en ?r.\A the
women of tLi-i.lay are ^vorlhy of their heritage anu ahve to
their responsibilities. I not only believe that we need
good patriots to-day even ntore tlum we ricedcd them 125
years ago, btit 1 l.ielieve we have patriots to-day — better
men and more of them — than we had then. I believe that
when the history of the United States is written th.e his-
torian will write the name of liobson side by side with
that of Xathan Hale; that Rujsevelt at Santiago was
every wit as brave and dashing a soldier as was Alex-
ander llamilton at Yorktown ; that iMcKinley was as
good a president as Madison ; that Dewey and Schley
were as great commanders as Washington and Greene,
and that tlie American sailor of to-day is as bravo as
those who fought to win the nation.'s independence. I
believe, also, that the citizen to-day is quite as good as
the citizen then, and that w henevcr the nation has need
of tl:e services of its sons and its daugliters it v,dll ever
find tiiem ready to make whatever sacrifice the nation
needs. The world is ^2^ years older than it was then.
I believe it is i_'5 years Ix-tter.

COLLATION AXD A POEAI.
Do these compatriots of the famous Line
Need pihared sluift t(j immortalize their names,
]'><j f\^:c^\^ like lli< irs need added seal or sign ?
Are they not Preed^.mi's cIk ribbed ^^»n^, and. lame
Can we exalt in statelier degree,
As their renown we llins ceanm.emorate.
Men who transfornud a parent colony,
/\ sceptred province, to a sovereign state?
Can that bronze statue to the world repeat
With more impressive voice the story told
Plow they on bloody fields braved iron sleet,
Cast, as the)' were, in true heroic motdd?
Can we forget who covered the retreat
And laid tiieir offerings at Long ElaniEs shrine.^
Can we dismiss, while momorv liokk-. its seat,
Monmoutli and Germantown and Brandy wine?
Do taldets tint v/ith brighter colorings
Tlie spirit, in tlie -struggle to be free,
Displayed at Camden, Cowpens, Entaw Springs,
Or in the f.tish of Yorktovvn's victory?
I3id not the great Commander often cheer
The sons of AIar}l::nil with heartiest praise?
Did not IDeKalb, Pulaski, Greene, endear
Their names for crowning valor -with its bays?
Suiely, they need not monumental pile
Who fought, bled, died, for justice and for right
Their names are graved with lik>tory's pointed style
In fadeless characters of liviiic;- ligb.t.
But reaj descendants, mindful <',( iheir debt,
'idius in the whirl and stress of modern life,
Speak to their countrymen lest they forget
The v/hy and wherefore cf the eight years' strife.
Lest they forget, this shaft will tell with pride
Plow patriot sires the clarion call obeyed.
And life and fortune — all that th.ese implied —
Upon the altar of their country laid.
The collation t'j.jk place in tne big second floor hall of
the Alusic liall. blags caught up v/ith >hields bearing
the coats-of-anns of the thirteen original States surround-
ed tb.e walls and formed the draperies at eitliL-r end.
Twdning the pillars were blue ar.d buff rilibous — tlie Rev-

long table, decorated with red and white roses and wdiite
wax lights under dainty little buff' ad silver shades.
Here an unlimited supply of salads, oysters, sandwiches,

During the progress of the collation the following oric:-

by Mr. Francis rutnain Stevens:
WHV r|.:ar xnt; SII.\FT.?
Whv do the sons nf lorn;- departed sires
With re\erent hand; this votive column rear?
Is tb.ere mistru-^t that our memorial hres
May burn with lessening glow from year to year?
'Twill sliow the grandeur of their sacrifice.
Their stake for glory or a soldier's grave,
Show that, whate'er the throw of fateful dice.
All that was theirs to give, they freely gave.
The claim of riglit divine to govern wTong,
They left to sycciphants \vir:> kissed the rod ;
Theirs was the maxim that ''resistless strong
To tyrants is obedience to God."
Their sons, since then, on many a hard-fought field,
1 rue to the lessons taught, the example set.
'Gainst shot and .-hell iheir breasts as tirndy steeled,
'Gainst sabre-tbrnst or charge of bavonet.

rllF Mieliiyan Societ}' of the Sons of the American
Revolution iniveiled a lironze tal.ilet on the new
Wayne (.Murity Building at Detroit, Alichigan, on Satur-
da\. Octohir 19th, the annivu'sar}' of the sur'emler of
Cornwallis at \'ori-:tu\\ n, a> a tribute l':i Major-Cieneral
Antlicny W'avnc, one of the most distini^,uished ofticers of
the Revohuion. This tablet is the work cf The Henry-
r,(>nnard Bronze Co., nf New York, and ii a fuie specimen
(if bronze work. It consists of a beautiful bust of General
Wayne in "has relief," a map of Wayne County, as orig-
iinlly laid out. the ofiicial insignia of the Society, and has
the following inscription :
This talilft is n triLaitc lu M;LJur-Gtiier;d Anthony Wayne, U.
S. A., to whoiu as gcncri! in coiuiuand the English surreni.iered
this region July nth, 1796. The County of Wayne was created
and named in his honor August 15th, i^'jKJ. As then establislied,
the county embraced nearly all the present State of Michigan
and portions of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, including
the sites of Milwaukee and Chicago and parts of Fort Wa;, ne
and Cleveland. Erected under the auspices of the Michigan
Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.
The purpose was to mark this e.vent as one of the most
important in tlie history of Wayne County, and as Gen-
era! Wayne is of Revokitionary fame, the celebration was
in keeping with the genera] objects of the Society. Gen-
eral Wayne was tlie commanding officer of the United
States to take possession of the North- West. PTe form-
ally entered Detroit and took possession of the city as
Military Governor August; 17th, 1796. It was npeWT his
nulitary and diplomatic skill that depended the settlement
of the interminable \^-ar with the Indians and the English,
whose refusal to comply with certain articles of the treaty
of I7b'3 and notably wdth that which provided for the
'•vacuation of the ion?, in the North- We~t Territory, had
led a large party in the country to clamor for war and
acarly every one to feel that hostilities were inevitable.
The Indians were, in fact, determined that the vchite
'Settlers shoidd ne\er o^ccupy the lands north cf tlie Ohio
'"^nd tliat this river slieiuld form the per;nanent bound.ar.v
liotween th.em. Wdien it was determined to subdue them
'■jy a military force, all the Indians or this region, tc-
ffether wdth those of western Pennsylvania, became con-
^-■'-'ntrated in a powerful confederacy near the Rivers
Miami ;ind Alaumee, and acted in c.jnjunction with th^
Indians in the neighboi'hood oi Lklroit, the Canadi;:U.-
and the JTigiish garrisons liiere anj in other parts of
Cthitj. In thus a.ttenitping lu suiuluv tlie Indians, there
was druiger tliat the United States might be drawn into a
war vdth Jdngland.
Generals liarrnar and St. (JIair IkkI tried in vain to
bring tlie Indiani> into subjection, but U'./iiniig was ac-
comp}ishv-d in tliis direction, until "'.Mad Anth:n_\
Waxne," this dashing soldier of the Rv\ohiiioii, who had
been CLiuinilssioned to rai^e an army, m order to put an
end to these Indian troubles and make this region safe
for the habitation of tlie white settler, ile raised his
army near rittsburgh and towards the end of the stimmer
of 1792 marched down the C'hio and in the fo!l;;;wdng
S])ring continued on to Fort Washington, the present site
of Cincinnati. Here he remained until liie next year
perfecting his forces, and in the spririg, commenced his
march norlhward through th.at region, which is PiOw the
pre.^ent state of <.Miio, and tm the JOth of Augiisc, 1794,
met the Indians at the Battle of Fallen d imbers and con-
quered tliem in one of the most celebrated battles in the
annals of Indian warfare, d he site of tiiis battle is about
eleven miles south of dTiledo on th.e 2\Iaumec River, dhe
victory was complete and in the subsequervi: dealing?
with the Indians, it was apparent that General Wa}"ne
liad been, in fact, the "arbiter of the red man's future."
and in August, 1795, he concluded the treaty of Green-
ville wdih th-"ni, which ceded tci the United States gov-
enimeni the territor\' west .'nd nortE of the Ohio, and j
thus Wa\T,e's victor}" and the treaty of Greenville formed j
the true "wanning of tlie west," the story of wltich is tltat I
of the most marvelous achievnient in American history. |
1
Idle Jay treaty was pas-ed April 13th, 1796, and Gen. |
era! Wayne was again called into the service of the gov-
ernmer.t by appointment as military governor of the Ter-
ritorv, and ordered to take possession cd' the British posts
on the fiontier at Niagara, Oswego, the Miami and De-
troit, which he did personally and reach. -1 F),ti' A '^^•'^■-

General Anthony \\'ayne was Ids only son, horn Jan-
uary 1st, i;45. at East Town, Chester County, I'ennsyl-
\ania. His lighting proclivities, courage and. indomitable
will were manifested in early life and gave Ids f.ither
and teachers great au.\iety during;- Id? earlv training. Be-
■ ncatli the animal spirits and boyisli aspirations, was found

The stories of his b:iyliooJ resend:le tlmse of Xajjoleon
Bonaparte. Like many of the great generals of historic
renown, he was traired as a civil engineer. At the ago
of 21 years he was selected by I'enjamin Eranklin as sur-
veyor and re[<rescntative of a large association in the
Province of Xfca Scotia.
His prudence and good common sense is illa-tratcd by
the record of his marriage to the daughter of one of th.e
most prominent ard wealthy citizens of Philadelphda at
tlie c'.rly age of 21 }ears.
His love of militar}- lecl him to the stu.dy of the sub-
ject, and in 1775. at the hrst skirmish at Lexington, he
was fnun:l orgar.izing and i.lriHing a compatiy ni volun.-

nition of his military, prowess conferred upon him the
rank ci T'rigadier-General.
To relate hi- reC'-ird and mirveEus ileeds during the
Revilutii'marv War wi'uid c.owr a luscory fii the more
imp'^rtant battles for C'Ur E.;depcn<knce. It has indeed
been well said that he had hra\ed dirik:idt\ arid, danger
"in tlie defense "f tlv- riLdifs and liberty of .America from
tiie frozen lakes of Canada to the burn in;
ida." He commaniied at Ticondiroga, defended Chad's
!■ rds and I'mI; an im[io'rtant put in the Latlle of i'randy-
wine. He sersed with W'aslnn;.;ton against Howe and
Cornwallis at
Walle
;y Eorge, Geiniantown, Chestnut Hill
and White AEirsh Church. C)f this eircountter Washing-
ion irpoited; 'du lu-tice to the right wing of the array
under Ccnera.l Wayne, I have thc^ greatest pleasure to in-
ir.jni \(iu that buih the- olTicer- au'i men bihaved with a
d./gree of gallantry which did them the greatest honoir."
.\t Monmouth, where the American soldiers lirst de-
\eli |»oi ihf fact that ilriUed Yankee- liad no superiors in
the W'lidd and where the Ctintinentai troops received their
'di.iptism 'if l.ilct'.d and i'lre" Wayne was the hero.
His greaiest achievement was the storming of Stony
Eciint, an imp'^rtant position on lite ]]udson, held by the
r.ri;i-h. Un the 15th of Jid}, 1779, General Wayne's
bra\x band left Sandy Beach for the purpose of storming
St'.'iiv i'oiut. Li orckr to previ;nt alarm of the ap[)roach,
he caused all the dogs in the neighborhood to be de-
stni\ed. At the midmight horn', guided by a negro of tiie
neighborhood, tw<j soldiers di-guised as farmers ap-
proached the sentinel and wlnle the negro talked to hin.t,
the soldiers seized and gagged him. With unloaded
guns, bayc)rets tixed and white feathers on their hats to
distinguish them from the Urili-h in the ilarkness, they
approached the garrison with less than three hundred
men , broke thr',.ugh. the barricades and rushed into tl;e
CLUtie c f the fort where a hand-to-hand encounter erisued.
Sixty-three of the garrison were slain and 553 made pris-
oners. Wa}'ne was wounded at the head of his' column
and wdien caugh.t bv his ai'les to keep hirn from falling, he
said : "Carrv me into the fort and let me die at the head
of my cedunm." His capttire of Stonv Pciint was one of
the mos: brilliant achievements of tlie Revolution.
General Wa}ne was giftdl with true soldierly insipra-
tion. His trust in WashingtiiU was without bounds, and
his confidence in h.is own militar} skill and undiunted
courage led him on one occasion to say to Washington,
'Tf vour excellencv will plan it, I will undertake to storm
hell.'"'
President Roosevelt, in describing his ■^haracter. said:
'Tn the R.evolutionarv War no otiier general, .-Vnaerican,
British or ITench, won such a reputation for hard fight-
ing and daring energy and dogged courage. He gloried
in the excitement and danger and shone at his best v.dien
the stress was sorest."
All his instincts were military. For his fearless cour-
a-^^e, daring energy, ami bold dash into the enemy's camp
in the darkness of miilnieht, and apparentlv rash moves
upon the battlefield, snatchincr. as it were, victorv from an
overpowering foe, he was christened "Mad .\nthony."
Bu.t liis head was as coo! as hi-^ lie:. rt was -tout. Like a
true and chivalric soldier, he was a gent'emar, clean, neii
and fond of a perfect uniform, for wdiich characteristic
same of the thr.ughtles? called him "EancE' Wayne." for-
r.etting that perfect f umi is one of the qualities that enter
into the compo-ition of a real hero.
But it was not in the Revnhition that he achieved his
ereatest h.oror. After the fall of Ynrktown, in which
he took an imnortant part, and p:ace with England was
declared, tlie Eidian tribes continued Iiostilities in the
South and West. l..a.Tr:c military expeditions were sent
out to sunpra<;s them, fir«t in command of General Har-
mar and afterwards under General St. Clair. Fcr ten

tory, and I for one prefer to get my knowledge in this kind of
reading. Loxitpnp Pi.-uli.shixg Co., Eo-ton. Price $1.50.

THE GOLDEN ARROW, bv Ruth Hail, author of "Thf
Black Gown," "In the Brave Days of Old," etc. The author
voices our sentiments wdieti she says: ''Geography and chronol-
ogy are the cyt s of history." but they are not the breath of its
life- The vif:;lit;, of a fact lies in its human- interest. It has long
been my belief that, to sui'plemcnt the conning of dates and
tables of names, by setting fo-tl) the dramatic incidents of t'ne
same period, was the one way to realize that time to the imagi-
nation and the memory of th.e student. The story deals with, the
American Colonies between i6,?5 and 1660, imder Roger Will-
iains in New Encrland. It i'' an attractise book for boys an-1
girls. Pric< -$1.25. FIougiitox. Mufiix e^ Co., Boston and

Marston luoccd with his jiairnts ti. 111 the ti>wn of his

at the :'ge of 15 he was ai)prentii;ed to James Hoag to
lea.rn tlu- ta.nneis' Iradc, ser\-ir]g li\c )ears.
]n i.'^J.^ he engaged in Jvasincss for himself at I'cntrc
Sandwich, and lie relates how he usfd to go to Ro-toii
with a two horse team and get his hides for tanning. In
those days there \Nere no railnxids c\'en running' into iv:)s-
tcm, and not even any stage-coach lines in the sectic>n near
Sandwich.
iMr. ?\rar>t(jn continued in the tamdng bui^iness until he
was sixt_\"-tb.ree } ears ol 1. 1 le then engaged in the inanu-
facture of shoes, continuing tins until lu' was cighl\'-ijne,
when he retired from active busiiK-ss.
His fatlier was a soldier tualer (ien. W'aslungton in the

Mr. ^Lirston has alwax s livM in Sandwicli since com-
ing there ninety _\ears ago, and therefore is familiar ard
closely identified with the historyof the town almost from
its formation. He relates how that when he first came
here there w ere but twehe houses in the entire village of
Centre Sandwich.
'J he earliest born of Elisha Marston's ancestors, who
came to America, was tlie Rev. Stejihen Bachelor, foun-
der of Hamilton, X. H. He was born in I5f'>r and died in
1660, in his locth year. Williaui Marston, Sr.. iiie first
}>Iarston who came to America, lived to be eight\' vears
old. Joliii Afarsioii. tiie father of bTisha, was nearly nine-
ty when he died. (Jf the twelve liruthers and sisters of
J'disha two lived to be L.ver idnetv and three other,> were
eig-lU)- or uK^re at their death. Thus it aijpears tliat talisha
r^larstian ca:i:e (if a long-lived stock. Iti- birtliright to a
long life b.as lieen kept b_\' cheerfulness, temperance and
industry. R'e is a genuine "Son of the American Revolu-
tion,'" his fatb.er having ser\eil in the Fvevolutionary War,
three enlismients as private and one as sergeant.
He was interested in all Ijusiness enterprises calculated
to promote the prosperity of the town, such as banking and
insurance, and in the days w lien Sandwich was in its prime
he eujoN'ed, the co':fiilence of its business men as a man of
cajiaeity an i integrity. He was a supporter of liie anti-
slavery movement from the beginning.
Mr. 3,tarston was a regular attendant ot cnurch. a
friend of religion and edu.cation. In 1820 he married Lncv
S. I'erris, who died in 188-', since winch time he has lived

Yorktown was signei.l, the United States extended frum
the Atk'.ntic ti> thv, Mississippi and from Maine to ( cur-
l^Ti. When I sii'.dicd geO;^'Taphy — I'lrgcr ago than I dare
to tell \on, hut not so -s-ery l^ng either — our tlag floated
from tile i'eniT-cot t.) tiie Rio Ijrande and from the At-
lantic tc) the Pacific, l-ut my geograph}- is nuw out of
dale, f'jr to-day the L'nitcLl States extends from Purtu
Rico to the Orient and from the Yukon to Samoa. When
I was a 1)1.1) 1 was told it was the proud h'jast of England
— and of Pngland alone — that the sun ne\er s^t on her
dominiiin^. do-dax the I niled States >liarcs with h.ug-
laud that di- tinction, fi r the sun rises in Porto R'co he-
fore il sets ai Manila.
When the L'nited States started on its career it iiad
three million ]veople. It now has sevenly-tive millior.s.
W''heu the United States started on its career it was the
poorest natirn in the world; to-day it is the richest.
When the L'nited States started on its career, the pessi-
mist prophesied that the new republic would soon come
to an inglorious end. The prophecy of the pessimist has
not come true.
The brave soldiers auil sailers of the United States, the
men who liave commanded and the men who have served
on both land and sea, have done their part. to bring al)Out
this glorious result. Washington "ar.d Greene in the
Revolution. Jackson and Perry in the War of 1S12, Scott
at Cheruliusco and Molino del R'ey. Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan, during the.Uivil War, Dewey and Schley and
Sampson, ]\.fi!es and Shatter and 'Roose\'elt in the Spanish
War, have all carried the country's flag to great and
glorious and decisive victories : but to my mind America
owes even niorc to her men of peace than she owes to h.er
commander in the field, I think history concedes that he
was at his greatest. not as ci^mmander-in-
chief of the army, but as Chairman eif the
Constitutional Convention of 17S8 and the first President
of the l'nited States. WT^at we remember Jackson fo,r is
not his victor}- at Nevv Orleans, hut for his veto of the
Bank P>ill and his Nullificntion Proclamation. The great-
est figure in the Civil War is not Grant or Sheridan or
Sherman, but .Ybraham Lincoln, tlie lawyer and the man
of peace, and when the history of the Spanish War comes
to be written tlie hismrian will do full Justice, 1 doubr not.

If I were to select tlie tliree great events most eia'.icd
a.nd ino:-t important to our laee and lo our instiluLi'-<ns, i
shoub.i seleei lir.t that e\-ent that ha'ppencd on the green
• isle of i\unnymede one summer afternoon seven hun-
dred }ears a.gu, when the barons of England, representing
the English [people, wrested from the unwilling hands of
King .Uhn the great charter of Anglican liberty, and not
a drop of bluoi.1 was shed.
Idle next great event th.at 1 shcAdd choose would be
the assembling of the convention that ].)repared tlic Con-
stitution of l!;e l'nited States and over wiiich George
\\ .a^hingteu presided. Ature important even than tlie
victories won on the battlefield by the soldiers and the
sailors of the Revolution, wen- the victories won by the
men of peace and the champions of union in tlie debates
in that convention.
The third and last great eveiU that I should mention is
tlie assembling of tlie Congress at the Hague. The
greatest act of the CViUstitutional Convention, of 187S was
the creation, of the Supienie Court of the United States,
d he Congress at the Hague created the vSupremc Court of
the World and patterned it on close lines
after the Suprenie Court of the laiited States.
'Idle work denie by Washingtijn's convention mure than a
century befon.', found its full coiisuniination in that little
House in the Woods near the Zuyder Zee.
And wliei' the Muse of History in future years shall
come to call the roll of the great men of our Empire
State, she will call fir-t perhaps the nan.ie of Peter Sta\-
vesant, the sturdy old Dutchman that Joim Fiske has suc-
cessfully rescued from the caricatures of W-'ashingtctn
Irving. And then he v. id call the names of Hamiito;:. and
Clinton, and John Jay, \'an Buren. Seward and Cleve-
land, but he will not stop calling his roll until lie ha,s
called tlie name of Andrew I). White, the man wdio did
more than any other man to bring t'.j its successful issue
the deliberations of the Congress of the Hague. It has
been well said of the great Virginian that he was the man
wdio won the liberty of his country, hut it may be as well
said of I'resident White tliat he is the man wdio won the
peace of the world.

'T'^HE fiisl presidential reception was liekl ;May 20,
^ 17S9, by Mrs. President Washington, ar.d took place
in the Wplter Franldni residence which stood at Xo. i
Cherry ■Street, Corner of TVankfort, on ground now
occupied bv tlie publishing- house of Harper Brothers.
Thereafter the house. became known as the "First Presi-
dential IMansion," of which a view is herewith afforded.
This reccpti'in was the subject of a great painting bv
Mr. Huntington. Our pliotograph was taken from a
steel engraving reproduction, and may be rendered stil!
more interesting bv consulting the acconipaTiymg Key.
The pen of Mrs. William T. Robinson, a niece of Mr.
Walter Franklin, has preserved an account of this his-
toric e^'cnt in which she says :
"Great rejoicing in New York on the arrival of Gen-
eral V,'aslu::gton. An elegant Barge, decorated with a!i
awnins; of Sattin. 12 Oarsmen dressed in white frocks
and blue ribbons, went down to Elizabeth. (X. T.'i last
Fourth dav to bring him up. A stage was erected at
the Coffee Plouse Wharf covered with a carpet for him
to step on, where a .company of Light Horse, and One
of Artillery, and most of the Citizens were in waiting
to receive him. ddiey paraded +hr.-u.gh Queen .Street in
great form, while the music, the Drum and rin^jing of
bells were enough to stun one with the noise. Previous
to his coming, Uncle Walter's Hou.-e was taken from
him and every room fu'rni^Iicd in the most e'egant man-
ner. Tliere is scarcely 3n\ tiling talked uf row but Gen-
eral Washington and the I'alace.'
"Thou mu<;t know that I/ncie Osg':Hid and Colonel
Duer were apjiointed to puo.rure a honie and furnish it:
accordine;'h- thev pitched on their wives as b'"-inq: likelv
to do it better. .'\unt Osgood and Lad\- Kitty Duer had
tlie v.diole management of it. The wl',r:le of the fir^t anri
second floors were C')veri\i with tlie richest kind of Tur-
key'and Wi'ton Carp'ts."
Cadierine Duer ( Xo. ui) wp.- the wife of Col. Wiliia'n
Duer anil a daughter of General V\'iiliani Alexander, then
rlaimaiU to the Scottish Earldom of Stirling. She was
described bv jobiu (Juincy Adruiis as "One of t!ie sweetest
looking weimen in the City."
Mrs. Wasbir.gton had conic from 'Mi. X'ci'HOit in her
liri\-ate coaeli, accompaniet! bv the Custis Children, ancl
Mrs. Robert iNbjrris (,Xo. 14), \\itli wli'mi shf^ passed on.e
niglit at I'iiik-ulelpb.ia, on the way. She stopjied at EHza-
beth, where the Genera! met kicr. The party arrived in
Xew ^'ijrk City, May 27, taking up their residence at
f'ncc in tlie Fir-;t Presidential Ma.nsion of the United
States/' and in which \\ as thus orgatii.zed the Republican
Court — most properly so called, not\vithstanding tlie
criticisms of the day, for, does not Shakespeare remind
us —
"Xo might nor greatness in mortality
Can. censure 'scape ; back woiuiding calumny
The wdiitest virtue stiikes."
The IlobIe^t and most beautiful women of the land
were thus assembled.
"The scene was as brilliant as gay colors, r'ch fashions,
jewels, youth, beauty, and wax candles could make it."
A study of the "Key" will reveal as fine a list of sur-
names as mav be found to-dav in tiie Peerage of Eng-
land."
!Miss Cliarlotte Chambers (wdio sub=ec;ueiitly became
Mrs. Col. Israel Ludlow), has left the followdng account
of a similar reception she attended, being an extract from
her "Alemoirs of the Life and Times of W^ashington."
"At Philadelphia, February 28, 1795. I received (Feb.
24) an invitation by nu.' fatlier, from r\lrs. Washington,
to visit her, and Col. Plartley politely offered to accom-
pany me to the next drawdng-room levee.
On this evenincr m

embroidered wdth silver, and a light blue sa^h. wdth silver
cord ard tassel tied at tlie left side. My watch was sus-
pended at the right ami m.v hair veas in natural curl-.
Surmounting all was a small white hat and white ostrich
feather, confined bv brilliant band and buckle.
"The hall, stairs and drawdng room of thi" Presiilent's
PL^use, were lighted by lamp and chandeliers. Mrs.
W'ashirgton with Mrs. Kn:x. sat near the f.re place. On
our approach Mrs. Washington arose and made a cour-
tesy— the gentlemen bowed most profoundlv — and I cal-
culated my declension to her own with critical exactness.
The President, soon after, with that bcnightlv peculiarb-
his own. advanced and I arose to receive ard return hi^
complim.ents with, the respect atid love my heart dictated.
He seated hi'iiself bc-iile me and ine(uired for my father,
a severe cold having detained him at home. '
That "father'' was General James Chambers, wdio^e

Sir Willirm dc Ludlow of the 141!; Ceniiiry, then of
HiH Peverill, Wiltdn're, derived royal bloud fr. 'm Ed-
ward L and his second \\ife Margaret, daughter of I'lnvn
HL <jf Erance. Eifih from Sir William was Sir Ed-

One o^" tlie flesccndants of William of bLill Peverell was
Colonel Israel Lndl'iw, famous in the earlv bistorv of
Ohio, wdio surveyed the iMiarni Purehase, laid out Cin-
cinnati, and gave that citv its jiatrician name, in reniem-

King James L issued this famous, or infamous, Bui! :
"I will have one religion, or doctrine, one discipline in
substance and cerem.ony, and I wall make them contLinr.,
or, harry them out of the Kingdom, or icorse." The
Cliambers. with McPher^O'is, the Ritchies, a Sept rif tlie
!McPiiersons, the McLeans and others of the best blooded
Clans and families of Scotland were thus Jiarricd out of
the "Land of Pleroes and iMartyrs" into the North, of
Ireland; from thence emigrating to America.

The Clan of AIcPher>on had a most distinguislied or-
nament ii( the person of our General James P.. ^Ac-
PiiEr<snx, killed at AtlantJ. I was with him the evening
before the day of his death. I had been ordered by Gen-
eral Garrard to report to bini for information concerning
the line of battle. Thtreu[ion chat courteous and chival-
rous gentleman-General, kneeling", drew up'-n the dust','
roadw2y liuis indicating the i!isp>:5itiun of the different
Cor|)s. ircluding his own. His death, so soon afterwai^ds,
cast a shadow over my soul which has not been lifted to
thi> day.
I learned in Sce-tland tliat the ^kT\itc^.ies or Ritchies
are a Sept. or branch, of the great }ilcPherson' Cl'.n.
The Ritchies, however, became distinguished, in and of
thems;lves. I became intensely interested in the Coat of
Arms — because of the fact that our national colors ap-
pear in its heraldic composition so prominently. The
first end fourth quarters are .Vrgent, liaving on a red
Chief three li(Dns' heads argent; the secon.i and third
quarters are azure, charged witli golden crescents be-
tween three silver crosses crosslet-^. The motto Virtutc
aqniritur lioucs — '"by virtue honor is acquired," is a beati-
tiful sentiment for one bearing that ramc — notably INfrs.
Emily Nelson Ritchie-^L^Lean. ^foreover, it is a piv..-
fessional name of eminence and distinction.

"I's doin' to have a birfday,"
Said Polly, \\-ee and shy ;
Whose hair was golden thistle-down,
Whose eyes matched the blue sky.
"I's four years eld to--morrow-day,"
■ She said with long-drawn sigh.
And I replied, "TIow very old
You will be by and by."
The morrow came and little guests,
Vv'ith happy, childish glee.
When, lo. behold! the Stars and Stripes
From flagstaff floating free.

A cormnunication was addressed to the Governor of every State
in the Uiv.on, to the G jvernor of Porto Rico, to tlie Go\'ernor of
the Piiilippme Islands, and the Governor of Hawaii, calling their
special attention to tlag Day, and requesting tluit they take such
action as would tend to secure a more general observance of the
daj- than it had received in previous years.
Replies from a large number of Goxernors were received.
Governor A. T. Bliss writes as follows: "Acting upon the sug-
gestion contained in your favor of April tS, the matter creating
by legislation a Flag Day for Michigan was presented to the State
Legislature, meeting with a patriotic reception at the hands of the
law makers. On the fourth day I signed a concurrent resolution
autiiorizmg -me to annually issue a proclamation, calling the at-
tention of the people to the observance of the day in honor of the
Stars and Stripes.''
Governor Miguel A Olero, issued a proclamation calling special
attention of the peopl; to the observance of the day throughout
the territory of New ^le.xico.
Go\-ernor Stanley, of Kansas, issued a proclamation in which
he .said: "i would suggest that the llag be pronnnently displayed
upon all public and private buildings, that suitable exercises be
held in commemoration of the anniversary of the adoption of the
Mag, that we may ha\ e an increased love for the Stars and Stripes
and stronger devotion to the institutions which it represents."
Governor Toole, of Alontana, also by proclamatioit called spe-
cial attention to tlie observance of the day, requesting all citizens
and busine^'j houses in the State display the Stars and Stripes on
Flag Day.
'1 he Commissioners of the District of Columbia issued a proc-
lamation ciilimg special attention to the observance of the day
here.
While all the replies received were most encouraging, a memor-
able occasion was the celebration at the Pan-American Exposi-
tion. The director general, the Hon. W. L Buchanan, writes as
follows: "W'e shall celebrate Flag Day ' at the Exposition by
proper service in Music Temple,- and will make such display of
the flags here as will make it a memorable day in the history of
the Exposition."
F.laboraie e.xercises were held in the new National Theatre,
\\ ashing'on, D. C, tipon the evening of June 14, under the aus-
pices of the citizens of the District of Columbia. This meeting
was a brilliant success as attested by reports from the city papers.
Flags for the nrst time on Flag Day were displayed from the
dome of tlie capitoi. The President's salute of twenty-one guns
\vas fired by the United States artillery at Washington Barracks,
and a large flag reserved for special occasions was iioated from
the War, State and Navy Building. The business houses and
vessels m the harbor -were radiant with the Stars and Stripes, and
"Old Cloiy" wavoil pr'.iidly from the District public buildings and
private resiiiei'ci.'-, \'. iule w-orn in miniature over the hearts of
4.5-000 school chiklren. If th.e tlags \vhich were presented to the
school children had been placed in a single line, tiiey would have
reached over one mile.
I hoiisands of people, led by the Daughters of the American
Revolution, under the direclioi: of the BulTaio Chapter, bowed j
to the llag at tlie Pan-Aniei lean F.vposiiion during the cxei- !
ciscs at the gre.it J einple liI .Mu. .c, \', Inch wa-> not one-liiird laige I
enough for the ininieioe tiiroiig.-^ liial desired to enter. li was a |
universal (.lay of honor throuj-dioul the nation, a day crowiu:d with I
ceremony m which the oilicutl representalive> of .e\ eiy govern- I
nicnt ui the Western ileiuiipliei e joined out of re.ipect to the iia- !
tion, and in glory to the llag. As stated in die columns of the city !
press of BuUalcj; "Gray haired women wore it on breasts where {
their sons were nursed who went forth to die for it; bent, feeble j
men wore it on sleeves that had been emptied for it. Headstones .
v.ore it on graves that were tilled for it; children wore it over I
hearts that would gi\e their life's blood for it. Spire;, wore it j
above buildings that have risen under it. Cities wore it on nnti- i
tutions tliat tliry created through it. Ihe bkies of day wore its ;
crimson and white. The skies of night wore it, .~tais and blue, j
Earth and sky united in hom.ige to it. 1 here are no more on 1
earth, ilian there are beyond the sines, wlio have lived and loved j
and dieil for it. In the a.:ure of the mglit shi.n.- the siKer stars a^ i
if each gleamed for a commonwealth beyond the clouds, where i
those of the pa-t. like those of the present, were banded together ;
in the majesty and might wliich symbolized." j
A huge lla.t.'", sixty by one hundred feet, floated over the esplan- |
ade at the l-'an-Amencan Lxpe'sition. Near it lloated another ^
twenty by sixty feet. Proudly it waved as if coii--.ciou;, of the j
fact that the nation knew and respected it. '
One was reminded that the. French government unfurled the j
Stars and Stripes as a token of love and esteem; 011 the Fc.iurth of j
July of last year it floated from tlie Eiffel Tower. One thousand' I
pigeons w^erc relciised from crates by the Court of For. -.taiiis, and •
in one compact mass they darted to the triumphal e..a.ie\\ay and |
circled abo\e the flag, a fluttering, feathery wreatn, ho\eriiig over 1
it like a strange halo of pale purple. |
The following arc extracts from letters received by the com- ;
niittee: j
General .Arthur }>.cArtlnir, Manila. P. L, writes: "Your letter I
has been bulletined where tlie public and press mr^y see it, and a i
copy has been furnished to llie Superintendent of Education of j
the Philippine Islands." {
Acting Governor Cooper, of the Territory of Hawaii: "The j
Superintendent of Public Instruction will draw up a programme |
to be forwarded to ail the schools of the Territory for the holding 1
of proper e.xercises on June 14. I shall take pleasure in request- j
ing our people to have tlie general observance of Flag Day here. ;
It is quite appropriate for ns as itis the first anniversary of cur |
admission as a Territory." ■
Tlie Acting Governor of Porto Rico writes: "A detailed pro- ;
gramme of e.xercises will be published in due time and sent to all 1
the observance of Flag Day, and call the- attention of the State ;
Superintendent of Education to the matter." i
Governor Richards, of W'yoming: "This is a question that in- :
terests me very m.uch, and after consulting the State Superin- :
tcndent of Instruction, I am glad to report that ever>- school ;
teacher in ^^'yomi^g. where the sciiool has not already been !
closed, will display the American flag, and patriotic exercises will '.
be held." j
Governor Stanley, of Kansas: "I hope the day may be gen- !
erally observed throughout the State." I
Go\'ernor of Iowa: "That the agitation for the better obsen,--
ance of such an occasion is helpful and as results show, are cal- '
culated to inculcate in all the people and espetiaiiy the young a \
higher veneration for the country's symbol of liberty and union. ' |
Governor Smith, of Maryland: 'T am always willing to do what j
I can to procure a proper observance of an occasion of this kind." j
Governor Durban, of Indiana: "Necessary action will be taken
i:i order that the day may be suitably observed." |
Governor McLean, of Connecticut: "I shall take pleasure in ;
bringing the matter to the attention of the State Board of Edu- !
cat'on. I
The Governor of Missouri : "I have referred your Icttter to the i
State Board of Education with t'ne request tliat your suggestion I
be followed." I
The Governor of Colorado: "1 will issue an order in relation to j
the schools."
The response received from the Empire State indicated great ,'
interest, the day being generally observed tliere. This State has !
published a work tcacliing patriotism. It is a large volume I
known as the "Manual of Patriotism." wherein is presented the j
clioiccst literature, bearing upon love of country and notable i
events and achievements of proud names in American history, in
the belief that the country grows best when the youtli of the land
has a lively appreciation of wliat "'ir f:'ee instit'.itions i!a\e cost in .
individual sacrifice, in suiTcring aiwi in treasure. Th.e observance
of Flag Day was inaugurated by the Connecticut Society, Sons of
the American Revolution, in iS->x :,

Seymour H. Stone and Ernest C. Moses, took part in the dis-
cussion. There was suggested the unveiling of the tablet on the

cuse Chapter. Sons of the American Revolution; that possibly
the Sunday previous to suc'i date there might be a gathering

Dr. Van de Warker the Chapter gave added power to the Tablet
Committee that had tindertaken the raising of funds, authorizing
such coinmittee to talce full charste of ihe exercises jointly with
a similar committee of tlie Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion. The Smis' Cominittee consists of Douglas X. Green, Chas.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE REOEXT OF THE ARMY
AND NAVY CHAI'lER, I). A. R.
IslxY 13, 1901.
Officers and Af embers :
in placing before yoi.i my second annual report as Regent of
this Chapter. I feel confident that you will find onr work has
been quite as extensive and far-reaching as during the year
189O-IQ00. Although the first etnliu>iasm and excitement of our
Spanish War has long ere this worn itself out, and among civ-
iliat's become n^ithing more than a matter of history,- to us —
wives, widows and daughters of Army and Navy officers — it
is very far from being a thing of the past, and the bcreavemetit
and sufferings of many of our members keep it a real and ever-
prrsent trouble.
We have found quite as many rases requiring our assistance
as in the previous ye;ir, and would have been greatly over-
burdened had It not been for the organization of the Army Re-
lief Association, which has taken many ^ad cases off our hands.
While our Luncheon and Tea Room did not prove tlie financial
success which our amljition craved. It was. nevertheless, a good
wi-irk. and brought forth the heartiest commendations from the
public. Our Relief Committee was j.mtiring in its efforts, the
niembers giving very largely of theii time and strength, but it
has seemed wiser to dispose of it tiian to attempt to carry it on
through another surrimer. The "'good will' and furnishings were
satisfactorily disposed of March ist, and we feel that the Chap-
ter has been benefited by the experience, and we knov; that we
were able to hold out a helping hatid to many pior women who
needed it. by giving them emoloyment.
The circulars which the Chapter authorhted the Relief Com-
mittee to send out last Tune brought us many contributions, as
\^elI as words of sympathy and encouragement for our work. In
this report I wish to acknowledge the receipt of the same and
to tender otir grateful thanks.
The first to respond was the Gen. Samuel Honkins Chaotcr,
of Henderson. Ky. Then followed the Chemung Chanter, of El-
mira, N. Y. ; the Le Roy de Chaumont Chanter, of W'aiertown,
N. Y. : the Lansing Chapter, of Lansing, Mich. : Bellefonte Chap-
ter, of Pjcllefonte, Pa. : Washington County Chapter, of Wash-
ington, Pa.: C^le^ter- County Chanter, of Pennsylvania: Molly
Stark Chapter, of Man<-nester. N. H, : Martha Pitkin Chapter, of
Sandusky. Ohio; .-\scutney Chant< r. of. \\'iiid;or. \'t. ; and 'a = t.
hut not lea^^t. Trent Chapter, (if New Jersey, which sent us a
che-^- 'f«,r ,?J75. One hundred dollars of this money was sent to
the wife of n surgeon, in the Army, scrvincr in the Philinpines,
'" be used for tin- relief ot cases reported by her in her letter^.
• iiiallcr sums, of varying amonnt=. have been sent to other places
'r^nn time to time, where th(.y seemed to be n^'ost needed.
All cases tha.t we have aider! have been carefully investigated,
-ud the money has been used most .iudiciously. It appears to
us that this relief work must lie continued indefinitely, now that
"expansion" has beconie a fact ;'.nd a l.irge part of cjur Army is
certani to be st,-i! i^'Ucd in the far-away I'-landi of the Pacific.
It is a work which riui--i rilw.i\> api)';'! iti a s]ieci.-il nuinner

upon your mind; the great u'-tI: whicli belongs to u., -and to us

For the thiri.l time in our Nation's history otir land is stricken
with sorrow and with sb.ame, "That life so mean could murder
life so great."
For the third time a Ruler of our people has led the hosts to
th.e height-- whence c:in be sen tlie oromised land: h.as stood ai-i
instant transfigured in the li'.;:lit of hea\en ; then parsed within
the gates that, closing, left a world in darkne-s and in tears.
Thus has our Nation's leader. Wrt.t.T.sx McKrxi.EV. completed,

NEAR TO T?IER
I.
"Nearer, my God. to Thee,"
Has our martyred hero said.
Is this the sound of prophetic note
To our nation from lips of the dead?
Is there a voice in undertone,
A message to you and to me,
Which lifts us above our seeming discord.
And — "Nearer, my God, to Thee?"
H.
We forget, throne and state,
But Faith in God so sublime,
Will ring through the earth in clarion tones.
Unto the furth'rest limit of time.
Never Fefore on page of man.
Lias a nobler anthem been sung.
That so touched the heart in every clime,
And sweetest svnip?thy wrung.
HI.
As martyrs lift the race
Nearer to God and His throne.
So love of the Lord is in our hearts,
Such as has never before been known.
Our faith looks up through clearer sky.
And our hand clasps firmer and true.
And brotherly love is touching our hearts
That is tender, deeo and new.
IV.
Will sin, hatred and strife
Through him h'l pur.ged away.
And a new dawn 'in national life
Brighten into a glorious day?
More sac're.d th.in martyrs of old,
So my reasoti and heart agree.
For — there's a spirit of love, new to all
In — "Nearer, my God, to Thee."
V.
God's plan is always best,
He know= the currents of life,
And how much love and how much of hate
Lies deep in national strife.
That to sadd.en hearts, ch.asten lives,
Will oTien our dim eyes to see.
That "Ge.ii's .v.ay" i^ best, to lead us still higlier.
And — "Nearer, my God. to Three."
Mrs. Herbert Tt;RRELL.

PARSONAGE AND HOMESTKAU OCCUPIED BY REV. JACOB GREEN, REVF.REND PASTOR OF
• HANOVER CHURCH, N. J.. DURING THE REVOLUTION.
- -PARSONS GRJ':i' X," OF HANOVER.
TJli£ IvIA'. JACOi; Ci^F.EX was one of the nio.-.t
active and earnest of llic patriotic pa.-.tors of New
Jersev durin_q- the \\ ar of the Revolution. Born in Mai-
den, Ala.ss., janiiar\- jj, 1722, arid j^radnated .it J harvard
College, July, 1744. lie became the p.astor of tlic Presby-
terian Chnrch of 1 lanoxer, N. |., in November, I74'6. Pie
continued in that iniiiorlant relalion with no interruption
of power or activity until his death in Alay. 1790. During
this long period of forty-four ye?rs, he was a nior-t devout
and cxeniplarv niinister, doing much to enstamp upon the
community the high moral and religious character which
it has so long borne. Mr. Green became the trusted con-
fidant and coun'-elor of his people, treating them as a phy-
sicic-ii, drawing their wills and deeds, or gi\ ing them legal
advice. He was also a teacher, and was engaged in several
other lines of business. A letter was once directed to liim
as follows :
To the Rev. Jacoli Green, Preacher, and the Rev. Jacob
Green, Teacher.
To the Rev. Jacob Green, Doctor, and the Rev. Jacob
Green, Proctor.
To the Rev. Jacob Green, ]\Iiller, and the Rev. Jacob
Green, Distiller.
Notwithstanding these many activities he was able to
note in 1777 that during the thirty years to that time, his
duties as a doctor never once interfered with his duties
as a minister, not even on Sunday!
Mr. Green was a trustee of Princeton College, made
such by the charter of that institution in 1748. He re-
signed this oiTice in 1764, but in the meantime had been
Vice-President, and was the President pro iein. for eight
month.= during the year 1758-9. This was the interim
following the death of the illustrious Jonathan Edwards
and preceding the' incumbency of President SatriUel
Davies. His selection for this duty shows the high esteem
in which he was held, and the successful discharge of
these grave responsibilities prove Ins great capacity and
ability.
In 1 770, Mr. Green was one of live delegates elected by
Morris County to the Provincial Congress of the Colony,
which nice at Burlington, Ju.ne 10. This body prepared
and adopted the revolutionary constitution of the state of
New Jersey, which remained in force until the adoption
of the present constitut'on in 1S44. Mr. Green was made
cliairman of the coipniitfec of ten to draft the document,
end it is gener-i'ly thought that he was the writer of it.
.A. critical exam.inatipn .'of the work appears to identify
'hi- r'l.ought atid meth'jd and ju-tify the conclusion that ii
was his handiwork.
Mr. Green was the autlior of many patriotic newspaper
articles and pamphlets, which were widely intiuential in
the controversy witli Great Britain. Notable among these
was one published about January, 1776, and entitled, "Ob-
servations on the Reconciliation of Great Britain and the
Colonies." This was a most able review^ of the w-hole con-
troversy, and appealed for a remedy "nothing short of in-
deiKiulenec." Jt vvas ;i mo^t potent inlluencc in the public j
mind, and added ininiea;>urabU to his induence. j
When the issue cf war was joined, Mr. Green rallied his |
(.levoted congregalion and his enuntrymen at large to the
;-.trugcle, devoting his energies theieto, and cheering and
inspirnig them in their sacrifices and labors. When the
aiinv was encamped in the J..oantaka Valley, near Bottle
Hill, many olhcers and men were quarlerc^d in the houses
in all the neighboring hamlets. At this juncture tlie small-
pox appeared, and attacked both soldiers and citizens. To
check its ravages General Washingto'''. ordered i!ie system-
atic inciculation of as many as possible, both in the army
and community, that being the only means then known of
combotting the disease. JJefore issuing this order, he is
sa'd to have consulicdi with the neighboring pastor^. At
all events the influence and authority of Pastors Johnes
of Morristown and Green of Hanover were thrown in
favor of the order, and their fiocks obeyed them with sin-
gular unanimity, a fact wdiich accounts for the much
smaller death rate in the churches than in the rest of the
community.
Mr. Green early took strong ground against the institu-
tion of African slavery. Plis sermons and leatlets bearing
upon that subject arc radical, calling attention to the in-
consistency of fighting for freedom wd:ile denying it to so
many of our fellow men. Plis influence in this direction
was a most powerful aid to the abolition of the system in
this state in j8jo.
Mr. Green had several children, the best known of
w horn was Dr. xAshbel Green, President of Princeton Col-
lege, and wdiose sons and grandsons have long been promi-
nent in the professional and political circles of New Jer-
The old house occupied as a parsonage by this "Grand
Old. Man"' still stands, thougii it has been changed and
renewed in appearance during recent years. The picture
cf it wdiich adorns the cover was taken in 1894, while it
was the unchanged relic of the olden time. In JanuarN,
1777. the family of Rev. Jacob Green consisted of nine
individuals, and beside them fourteen ot'hcers and soldiers
were quartered in this house.

ticju of this tablet commemorates an event which is
strictly related to the former, as a part of the history of
this region.
This bronze tablet, erected at Detroit, Michigan, July
ic. 1S96. with ituposing ceremonies, under the auspices
CI the Michigan Society of the Sons of tlie American
Revolution and other p'atri(Ttic organizaricjns, to com-
memorate the closing act of the Revolution and the estab-
lishment of the authority of the United States over tlie
Nurthwest, marks a great epoch in the history oi this
eountrv.
The old Northwest was reallv the propert\ of Vir-
i'.ana as con(|uercd territory, tlip'iigb the vict ry of
f.eiirgi; Rogers Clark pt \incenncs, who represeiUe''

•'■«■'' tu the Union, the most marked instance cf a large
characterized the Fritish colonists. After a long and
bitter struggle for supremacy in the Ne\c Worll. this
region became British territory in 175'').
The English had hoped thr-augh the French aivJ In-

it nnahy resulted, sa\s F>aricroft, that England became
in fact the "trustee" of the vallev of the West for "tlie
free people who were making for humanity a new life
in America." The question was afterwards presented
ais to wliether it was the supreinicy of England or France

t'a red man or white man; or whether it shoukl form

THE HISTORICAE ADDRESS OF GEN. HENRY
M. DUFFIELD.
In his address, Cieneral Duftield. in fiart, said:
The surrender of Ecrd Cornwallis to Washington in
1781, followed by the prelinnnsry treaty of peace between
Great Britain and the I'nited States, agreed upon at Paris,
November 30, 1782. theoretically dcteiTnined tlic boun-
daries of tlie new republic. Idie thiricien British colonies
rr. North Anierica. which had thus become the thirlieen
United States of North America, represented clear and
definite ideas, politicallv and socially, but the boundaries
of the territory were only vaguely determined. The
PltTitcd States described in the instructions to John A^dams
in 1779, was quite a ditterent country geographicjUy from
tTae same United States wdiose independence was acknowl-
edged in Paris in 17S2. Neither England nor Spain re-
garded the Treatv^ of Paris as finally settling the destiny
of the country of the United States west of the m-oun-
tains In July, 17S3, tb.e request of Washing-
ton, through Baron Steuben, for a transfer of possession
of Detroit. Mackinac and C'su'ego, and the minor posts,
was met with an insolent refusal on the part of General
Haldiman, the British commiander in Canada.
In the foUowdng year. General Hull was sent, wdth the
approval of Congress, to in^'uce Haldiman to give up the
post, but he met wdth a like refus3].
In T78n. President Adams, then Minister to England.
informed Congress that he had made a dem.and for the
western, posts, and had been refused on the stale pretence,
so conclusivelv answered bv Jefiferson, that many nf tbi"
states had violated the treatv in regard to pavment of
British debts
Peaceable negotiations with the Indians, wdio had
gradually strengtlxened into a confederation of tribes
throughout the we-^tern forests, were attempted- but with-
f'tit success. Gener.-il Elarninr. wivh a force of fonrt< en

fe_red him. d lie\ crt-ilued iiim not only \vith braver}' to
rashness, but with much stratagem and cunning, and
name;; iiim the Black- Siuike. He proceeded with cliarac-
teristic energy. Ju the latter part of 1703 lie erected a
stockade on the site of St. Ckiir's defeat, wnicii he called
I'ort Rec'iver}', and, lia\-ing fully m;iturcd his plans, on
the 4tli of Jul\-, 1704, f'jlli.iwed tlie sa\;igcs into the depths
of the wiijerness. Caiiti nisly irejviiig down the left bank
of tlie ALiuniee, he reaeh.ed the rapids about the lytli of
August, and erected a small work calledi Fort Depjsit,
about iDur miles above the I'ritish post. He found ti.c In-
dians eiuienehe.l under tlie very shadow of the English
fort, ^\hich.llad been forlil'ied not long before by a force
s^nt from Detroit. General Wayne, therefore, prepared
liimself to act defensively ag.diist both civilized and sav-
age foe. Flis- arniv amounted trj ab:ut three thousand
men. C'pposed to him was the savage league w hich ex-
tended throughout the whole 'Ncirthwcstern frontier.
On tlie 30th of August, 1794, lie attacked the savages.
His plan of battle was to senrl furward a battali:u of
mounted ritlemcn w ith instructions, if attacked, to retreat
in ajiparent confusion, in order to entice the savages into
a less advantageous position, and upon concerted signals
to turn with his infantry, v,diicli included the renowned
Wayne Legion, ilie riglit Bank of the enemy. But the day
was rainy, tiie signals from the drums could not be dis-
tinctlv he;;rd, and the plan was not wholly executed. liis
victory, however, was complete. After a stubborn resist-
ance, the savages were defeated and tied to the very walls
of B^ort Miami. The battle is known in history as the
Battle of Fallen Timbers
The battle of Fallen ddmbers ended all the Indian hos-
tilities for the time being, and was follow-ed in the next
year bv the Treat) .;,f Greenville. Before tbd^. and almost
contempoianeous udtli Wa)tie's victory. Jay s admirable
diplomacv had accomplished the Treaty of 1794. which
bears his name, under which England bound herself to
deliA"er up tlie Northwestern posts.
Tlie treaty called for the surrender of the posts by the
Britisli, June i, I79d\ but tlie order to evacuate was not
given until June 2. It was dated at Quebec and si.cjned
by George Beckwith, Adjutant General.
On the seventh day of July, 1796. General Hamtramck
sent on to Detroit two small vessels from Fort Miami with
a detaclimen.t of artillerv and infantry consisting of sixty-
five men, together with a number of cannon wdth ammuni-
tion, etc.. under the commanil of Captain Aloses Pester.
Upon Ids arrival on the nth of Tulv, the British tr-?op-.
under the command of Colonel Richard England, evacu-
ated the town. Idie Union Jack was hauled down. Old
Glory floated on the breeze, and Detroit was free.
Under the benign induence of tlie constitution and the
incomparable priviieire- of the Ordinance of 1787. the
little post of ibri.e tbnusand ^ouls has growm in a •^.n Je
centurv to a =uperb and peerless citv. and the wdldernes =

PRESIDENT JAMES B. ANGELL, LL.D.. OF THE
UNI\T.RSITY r)F .MICHIGAN DELIVERED
AN ADDRESS.
Among otlier things, Presidicnt .-Vngcll said:
The distinguished spealcers who have preceded me
have suggested, and .truly, that one of the reasons why
Great Britain retained this and other frontier posts for
thirteen years after the Treaty of Independence, was their
doubt wlreth.er we were really going to be al;Ie to ret: in
our independence. UnJer the weakness of our old con-
federation, this doulit on tlie part of the English was per-
haps not unreasonable. Tliit may I call your attenticn to
the more surprising fact that long :Tfer the establishnjcnt
of our stronger government under the constitution, the
Flnglish seemed to cherish th.e same doubt. In 1814. at
tlie opening of the negotiations feir the Treatv of Gh.ent.
the very first proposition made by the British conmiis-
sioners to ours, and made as a sine iUtj noii of th.e treaty,
was th:.l ue slujuld set anart fer Indians the vast territe.r>
U'iw conu/.rising the state- of Michigan, Wi-cmsin. Illi--
nois.-and a considerable part of tlie states of Indiana and

to be established in 'jur domain, (.'uupled witli this was
a (leniarid that we should liavc no armed force on the

an-wer in elTect that until tlie IJnited Stales had lost all
Sense ut in lepeiidtnce, thev would not even listeti to such
pren),wiiions. Tln'y threatened to go home. Castlereagh,
the I'rim'e Minister, happening to reach lilieiu on his way
to \'ienna, ordered an abatement of the English demands,
rnt.l so an h(V,iorable pea.ce was made. But the same idea
of a ''bulTer stale" of Indians under British influence, to
be Used in need .is a means of regaining power here, was
clicrished at the outset, as was enlerlained in I7ep. . . .

M UNITARY LODGES OF TFH'. AMElUCAN
REVOLUTION.
The war for our American Independence would not
have been successful had it not been for the existe'.ice of
Masonic lodges. From the Battle of Bunker Hill
('775.) ^'0 the end of that awful struggle, the meetings
of Lodges of Freemasons played a most important hand
on tile side of the oppressed. The first Freemason slam
in the cause of the Colonies was .Major-General Josepii
Warren, M.D., a native of Boston :.nd a member of ""^amt
Andrew's Lodge," a P'ast ^Master of tliat renowned body,
and "Grand Master of all ^Masons of Ncrih America."
He was killed in the above-n3m.ed battle. This thor-
oughly aroused the Alasonic fraternity. The above-
r araed lodge was organized in Boston A. L. 575a^i. Its
membership consisted of the best citizens of cultured
Bo=ton. Colonels Paul I\.evere, Thomas Crafts, Joseph
We! lb and Peter Faneuil were members of that Lodge.
-Anotiier Lc'dge whose memljcrs were en the side 01
liberly was "St. John's No. i" of Portsmouth. Nev/
Hampshire — Geii. John Sullivan, L.L. 1).. Gen. Joseph
Cilley, Gen. Henry Dc:rborn. Gen. William Wliipple,
Col. Alexander Scanmicll, Col. Nathan Hale, Alaior
Wiiborn Adani^, Major And.rew McCkary, Major
Thomas Bartlett. Capt. Z:cli Beale, Capt. James Gray,
Capt. Elijah Hail Jackson, Doctor William Parker, and
a host of other eminent Patrieits were members of that
renowned Alascnic body. "Hiram Lodge No. i,'' of
New Haven, Conn., furnished several grand patriots for
American freedom.
There were ten Lodges organized during those eight
} ears of bloodshed. Thev have l>ut little space on the
pages of history, and :s tlie author is a New England
m.n wdiofc father, gr.nid father and gre.at-grandfather
Were Alasons, think- it his p.triotic duty to give to his

State secretaries who recei\e thi;. letter will please at once give
a ei'iiy t^i every delegate and memher from their re>pecti\e State.-.
\sho uill be in alliiidance at the Natioi.al C'jngress in W'asliing-
tuii, D. C. _
1 he following general instructions are issued hy the various
Passenger Associations who sell tickets on the ceriificate plan to
those allendiug at Washington, D. C. on Apnl 30. .May i, May 2
and .May 3, UjOJ.
The reduction to fare and one-third on committee's certiiicale
is conditional on there being an attendance at the meeting of not
less than 100 persons wlio hold prober certificates ohtamed from

fare of not less than y^ cents through to place of meeting. Agents
at all inqiortant stations and coupon ticket offices are supplied with
certit'icates.
Certificates are kept at all stations. If, however, th.e ticket agent
at a local station is not supplied with certificates and through
tickets to place of meeting, he can inform the delegate of tnc
nearest important station where they can be obtamcd. In such a
case tlic delegate should purchase a local ticket to such station
and there talre up his certificate and through ticket to place of
meeting.
Going tickets, in connection with which certificates are issued
for return, may be sold only within three days (Sundays except-
ed) prior to, and during three first days of the meeting; except
that, when meetings are held at distant points to which the auth-
orized limit is greater than three days, tickets may be sold before
the meeting in accordance with the limits shown in regular tariffs.
The certificate must be deposited with the Secretary or other
proper officer of the organization at the meeting, for necessary
endorsement and vise of special agent.
On presentation of the ceriificate, duly filled in on both sides,
within three day^ (Sunday excepted), after the adjournment of
the meeting, the ticket agent at W'ashmgt'jn will return the holder
to starting point, by the route over which the going journey was
made, at one-third the highest limited fare of such route. '' he
return tickets will in all cases be closelv limited to continuous
passage to destination.
Certificates are not transferable, and return tickets secured upon
certificates are not transferable.
No refund of fare vyill be made on account of any person failing
to obtain a certificate.
All tickets transferred, or unused wiH ha\e to be redeemed by
the Society.
Don't fad to get a certificate in any event, as it will be of bene-
fit to meml.iers from a distance in securing th.e reduced rate. This
is especially urged tip.on the attention of the Pennsylvania and
Maryland Societies, and. other members living near to Washing-
ton who, wdiile not greatly benefiting themselves thereby, will save
?^,coo to $4,000 to other attendmg compatriots bv not neglecting
to secure the reduction certificate; since no reduction in fare will
be granted tovany unless too such return certificates arc presented
at tile Congress.
N. R. This rebate on the certificate plan has been arranged for
with the Central Passenger As.-;ociation, the Trunk Line Associa-
tion and New England Association, and will be granted not only
to delegates and tneir wives but also to S. A R. memli'M-s who
are nut delegates and their wives, but who are in attend.'nice at.tlie
annua! Ce'iigress. All lioldets of certificates, in onler to secure the
nT-atc, must pre-ent them to Mr. .\lbert J. FiTier and to the
Special Railway Agent on May ist on the tloor of the Convention
tor signature.
To A.i.L S. A. R. ME.MDttis:
A reduction of f;'.re and one-thii'd, f-u the certificate [ilan, has
been S!.cured for those east of Cliicrigei and St. I-ouis (mcluding
tho:e two points), who shall attend the: Coii'Tess of th.e National
Society Sons of the .'American Revolution to be held at Wash-
ington Guy. D. C, April 30, May i, 2 and 3, 190-'.
The following directions are sulimittcd for your guidance:
1. Tickets at full fare for the .pt'ing journey niav bj secured
within three days (exclusive of Sunday) prior to and during
the fir>t two days of the meeting. The advertised dates of the
meeting are from April 30 to May 3, consequently you can obtain
your ticket not earlier tlian Aiiril 26, nor later titan May 2. Be
sure tliat. when i>mi chasing your going ticket, you request a cer-
tificate. Do not make the mistake of asking for a receipt.
2. Present yourself at the railroad station foi ticket and ceili'.l-
cate at least thirty- minutes before departure of train.
3. Certificates are not kept at all stations. If you inquire at
your station you will find out whether certificates and through
tickets can be obtained to place of meeting. If not, agent will in-
form you at what station Jiey can be obtained. You can purchase
a local ticket thence, and there talce up a certificate and through
ticket.
4 On your r;rri\-al at the niectiiig, present your certificate to
Mr. Albert J. Fislier.
5. It has beeii arranged that the Special Agent of the Trunk
Line Association will be in attendance to validate certificates on
]\Iay i-st. You are advised of this, because if you arrive at the
meeting and leave for home again prior to the Special Agent's
arrival, you cannot ha\e th.e benefit of the reduction 011 the home
journey.
6. So as to prevent di -appointment, it must be understood th.at
tlie reduction on return journey is not guaranteed, but is contin-
,gent on an attendance of not le^s than one hundred persons hold-
ing certificates obtained from ticket agents at starting points,
showing payment of full first-class fare of not less than 75 cents on
going journey; provided, however, that if the certificates pre-
sented fall short of the required minimum, and it sha'l appear
that round trip ticKets are held in lieu of certificates, they shall be
reckoned in arriving at the niiniiaum. No refund of fare can be
expected in case of failure to secure certificates.
7. If the nece5^ary mininiuiu is in attendance, and your certifi-
cate is duly validated, you will be entitled, up to May 6, to a con-
tinuous passage ticket to your destination by the route over which
you make the going journey, at one-third the limited fare.

A I\iUNU.\lKNT TO AMERICAN PATRIOTISM.
THE MEM0KI.\L BRIDGE.
"The Proposed Bridec Would Be a Convenience to All the People
From Every Part of t'.e Country Who Visit the Nati^'nal
Cemetery, an Ornament to the Capital of the Nation, and
Forever Stand as a Momimont to American Patriotism." —
President McKinlcy in Message to Congress Dec. 5, ifcjQ.
At a meeting of the Washington Board ol Trade held on De-
cember 14, i>^<X3, a resolution was unanimonsly adtipled in support
of the Memorial Bridge across the Potomac River from the
grounds of the U. S. Naval Observatory, which will constitute
the only direct approach from Washington to the National Cem-
etery at Arlington. The resolution is as follows:
"H''hi)\'as, tne patriotic people of our Country have taken a
special interest in a memorial to American patriotism in the form
of a magnificent bridge to span the Potomac River from the L^ S.
Observatory property to the great Arlington Cenietery. competit-
tive plans having been submitted to the Honorable Secretary ui
War from four of the great bridge builders and architects of
America, the same being referred to a commission of United
.States Engineers, and a composite plan having been aceepted -and
adopted,
'J l-.crcfuic, he it Resolved, that the United States Congress be
and the same is hereby memorialized to appropriate at this ses-
sion, a sum of money to connnen.ce the cutistruction of said bridge
as one of the Centennial marks for the new century, and as a me-
morial to American patriotism, and the Secretary of this Board
is directed to transmit a copy of the above to the Chambers of
Commerce, and Business Associations of the different cities of this
Union, asking their endorsenicnt and co-operation."
In transmitting this resoluti'jn attention is invited to the Mes-
sage of the President of the United States to Congress, of Ue-
cember 5th, 1899. In this message, referring to the Memorial
Bridge, President McKinley says:
"Congress at its last session appropriated five thou.=and dollars
'to enable the Chief of Engineers of the Army to continue the ex-
amination of the subject and to make or secure designs, calcuia-
ticjns and estimates for a memorial bridge from the most con-
venient point of the Naval Observatory grounds or adjacent there-
to, across the Potomac River to the most convenient point of the
Arlington estate property.' In accordance with the provisions of
this Act, the Chief of Engineers has selected four eminent bridge
engineers to submit competitive designs for a bridge combining the
elements of strength and durability and such architectural embel-
lishment and ornamentation as will fitly apply to the dedication,
'A Memorial to American Patriotism.' The designs are now being
pre[)ared and as soon as completed will be submitted to Con-
gress by the Secretary o'f War. The proposed bridge would be
a convenience to all the pco['ie from every part of the country
"vvho visit the National Cemetery, an ornament to the Capital of
the Nation and forever stanil as a monument to .American pa-
triotism. I do not doubt that Congress will give to the enterprise
still fitrtlter procf of its fjz'ov and apf'roz-al.''
Since the above was transmitted to Congress, a Board of .Award
consisting of ofticers of the Corps of Engineers and of architects
appointed by order of the Secretary of War have had before tliem
competitive designs froiri four of the most distingui-hed American
bridge engineers each of whom associated with himself at least
one architect of established reputation and ability. The report
of this Board of Award was submitted March 2S, looo, and it
recommended the adoption of design No. 2 of those of Mr. W. H.
Burr, an eminent American bridge engineer.
At the ni:elii;g of the WaTiinel' iii Board iif 'irade above rc-

action t'l be of value ^dlould be immediate. A reply indicating
action taken will greatly oblige.
This will be a lasting memnrial to .American patriotism, aiirl a
never failing source of reverence for patriotic devotion, not only to
the living descendants of the thoii^.-iiid- who sleep in the last re=t-
ing place of the Nation's dead at .Arlington, but to future genera-

TO CHANGE INAUGURATION DAY.
DETF.RMIXKU MOVEMENT BEGU.V TO CH AXGE THE DATE TO APKtT. 30.
A more determined effeirt than ever is to be made to secure a
change in the date of the inauguration of the President of the
United States, 'ihe Cominissiouers of the District of Columbia
are behind the n;ovement. They sent out notices to-day to the
Governors of all the States asking ttiem to serve on a committee
to urge an amendment to the Constitution providing for the
change. Other members of the committee will be Justice Harlan
of the United States Supreme Court. .Admiral Dewey, Lieut. -Gen.
Miles, District Commissioner MacFariaiul and a luiinber of citi-
zens of the District of Columbia. The a|ipointment of the com-
mittee was suggested bv the men who h.ail charge of the last in-
augural ceremonies.
^^"hile the Commissioners do not suege-t any date, there is a
general agreement among those concerned in the movement that it
should be April jo. Thru is the anniversary of the first inaugu-
ration of George Washington. The idea of changing the date
from March 4 seems wholly from the fact that March is the most
disagreeable month in the year in Washington and the ideas tiie
worst part of it. Many of those who participated in Grant's sec-
ond inauguration died as a result of their outdoor experiences
on that terrible day. Garfield's inauguration was marked by fairly
good weather, but it took an army of men to clean the streets of
the slush that remained after the snow and hail fall of the night
before. Cold rain fell in torrents when Eicnjamin Harrison went
to the Capitol to take the oath. The second inauguration of Clc'e-
land was conducted dtiring a blizzard and the weather conditions
on McKinley's second inausuration weie similar to those of the
day Harrison became President.
Tile latter part of .April is a pleasant season in Washington,
and th.e ch.ances of disagreeable we;tther for inauguration wi'l be
reduced to a minimtim if the date is changed to the last day of the
month.

COXCLAVE OF GENERAL SOCIETY.
The triennial conc'ave of the Gen.cral Society of the Revolution
was held in Washington, D. C, April iSih to 20th, with iiead-
quarters at the New Willard.
An interesting programme liad been arranged for the delegates,

ident Roosevelt received the delegaies and aherna'.es at the Wniie
House, and this reception marked vh.e opening of tiie congress.
At 10 o'clock- th.e delegates and guests of the society took the

FOUND A MAYFFOWEl^l GRAVE.
IIEADSTOXE OF OXE OF TfiK I'll. OKI. MS IiIsCO\ LKED IX A CEMEIERV IX
SALEM, M.\SS.
In a recent number of the ohicial magazine of the ?vlassachu-
setts Society of Mayilowcr Descendants, appeared the iilustrali'sn
of a gravestone of a passenger in the Maytlower. It is the onlv
Mayflower grave.-tone known to be in existence and it is in the
old Charter Street Cenieteiy at Saleni.
Prior to tliis discovery it had been supposed that all toml;s(i.nes
marking the resting places of Pilgrims had crumbled into du-t.
Tradition and presumption have located the gr.ives of Mavtlower
passengers in several places in New Engkmd. but in most cases,
if not all, prcrof had been wanting. In the old graveyard at South
Duxbury, a mommiem has been erected o\er wdiat is said to be
the last resting place of Capt. :\Iylos Stau'lish. but there is divei"-
sity of opinion as to whetb.er the identity of this grave has been
proved. It is presumed tliat some of the }daynower passenuers
were buried on Burial Hill and Coles Hill 'at Plyme.uth, ^but
there is no proeif of it.

['iiinner, the editnr, and ever_\thin"- irom his "ifled pen was wrl-
eomed' liy that juibliealidn. l-'iuui tliis he naturally drifted into
newspaper work, and h.as filled some of the iiiust inifinrtant [losi-
ticuis in jnnrnab.sm, bi.th in Philadelphia and Xev.' Wnk City.
He was for :i number rif _\ears ciiy editor of the l^hiladeipihia

"n the Xew Yi.irk I') ess.
LUiring the Spanish-American wai, when ihe editor-in-chief
( l^rviii \\'ar(hiian) was witli Stpiadrein A. all the responsibility
(if ihe p.'ipei" fell ufirm Mr. Watrous. He was an indefatigable
wurker. and in all the Imig iH'Tulis whih; the war lasted he never
tiiiil: (ine day's rest. An .ittack ni ii^rveius pru.-tralion follow C'l,
from whiih Mr. Watroiis nrVvT fully recovered. (It was neit oid_\
iho'-t who diid at the front who gave their live- for their country,
but the toilers of the cause at home who fell doing their duty.)
The newspapers ad over the country, with fine voice, speak of this
man's greatiu-ss. Just a quotation from a few will tell the story
of the estum in which he was held.
The Xew \'ork Press said: —
"Mr. \\ atioii.- has pursued a career of u.nconmi'jn activity, ag-
gressi\ ene-s. and brilliancy, wdiich had just ripened when it was
cut off. To a natural literary bent and a powerfully analytical
mind he adiled a thorough legal training and a truly marvelous
memory fcjr historical and contemporary events, v/ith the result
that no man excelled him in e(p.ii;)nient and ability to apply its a'T
vantagcs to the profession of journalism. Many matters of mu-
nicipal, state, and national policy have been shaped by his sugges-
tion or his untiring and resourceful advocacy."
The Minneapolis Times: — •
"While his acquaintanceship was not large outside of the cities
of Philade-lphia and New York, in which he h.as dene his best
work, to newspaiicr men who knew him he was always the good
comrade, tlie courteous gentleman, the brilliant wit. the delight-
ful companion. Peace to his ashes. The profession can ill sjiare
such a 'gentleiuan unairaid.' "
The New York Telegraph said : —
"Wlieii Watrous died men began to look around Park Row for
a fit successor and f-jund none."
Toicii Topics: — ■
"When ".'vndy' Watrous died last week the public lost probably
the niiTst brilliant writer of English undeilled in tliis country,
and his few friends^for Watrous was very sparing in his in-
timacies— a companion of noble character, with whom even a few
mimites' conversation nas elevating."
Mr. Watrous was a member of the Eniiiire Sttite Society, S. A.
R. His national number was 14,182, and his state number 1.557.
He was also a member of the New- York Bar Association and the
New York Press Club. Two years ago the American Universitv
of 'I'ennessee conferred the degree of Ph. H. upon him on account
of his scholarly attainments. A number of Air. Watrous' poems
appear in a volume called "Treasury of American Verse." A
book of stories, called "Young Hc^wson's Wife, and Some Other
Women." has just been published. (One of the hist acts of his
life was to read these proofs.) With the deatii of Mr. Watrous
the country has lost a citizen of high resolve; the world, a good
man, and to those who knew him Cthe writer enjoyed the rare
privilege of having his friendship for eighteen years), a friend
that can never be replaced. — Patriotic Reviezc.

Headquarters Empire State Society.
TTIE Empire State Society, Sons of the American
Revolution, has taken headquarters at 230
Broadway, New York City, opposite City Hall
Park and the Post Ofhce, on the corner of Park Place.
Here ha\e been fitted up two attractive rooms for the
use of the members, and especially for those from out
of town. It is hoped that these members will make it
their lieadquarters while down-tov.n. Convenient toilet
appliances have been provided. Vv-here the dust of travel
can be removd and their grips checked while they are at-
tending- to business. A reference library has been ob-
tained for those who would search for ancestors, and
■Stationary will be provided free of co.-t.
1 his Society has undertaken to carry out the wishes
■^f its Chief, ^Valter S. Logan, who made the boast at the
'ast Xational Congress that the Empire State Society
'•vouUi be number one in membership at the next Annual
*- 1 'tigress, and as it is said, so it is to be.
llie Recruiting Committee, under Richard C. Tack-
^'■'h's chairmanship, have planned a campaign that must
risult in large additions to the r',>ll.
C ha[)ters up the State arc to be encouragegd to strive
'0 inake .their mark.
1 lie best v.ork in the .State the past year has been
■''ecomplislied by the Syracuse Chapter, and they are to be
'eu-arded for their efforts.
-be following correspondence that may be ancient his-
''jry may stir us to make good the boast of our Presi-
<'cnt and send the Empire State Society to the next Con-
fircss, number one with a large margin to spare.

.Soxs OF TJU-; A^n•:RI(■.\^ Re\olutio.v.
Gentlemen : — Our Sociv-ly now numbers more than
eiglrt hundred. Its growth has been greater during the
term of its existrnce tlian any of its sister organizations.
The genrral society thn.nigbnut the United States num-
bers nt-arly nine thousand. This iiKil:es the National .'So-
ciety of the Sons of the American Revohition very much
larger than any other patrinfic order of men in the
I'liit'ii.
\\'e ought to have honest pride that tlie Empire State
Society should, act upon the motto of our commonwealth
"Excelsior." and at the same tinie be, like the great State
of New '^'ork, first in the L'nion. If each member will
do a little missionary worl:. ascertain among his friends
and acquaintances who are eligible to membership and
bring them within the fold, we can, by the 226. of Feb-
ruary, the birthday of the Father of his Country, have
upon our roll over a thousand members.

Dear Sir and Compiatriot :
\\'hile the Society of tlie Sons of the American Revo-
lution is already a powerful organization and increasing
in numbers more rapidly than any other patriotic order,
experience in some of our State societies has demon-
strated that it may be more than doubled in a single year
if the subject be taken in hand actively by the individual
members.
The objects of the Society and the desirability of
membership in it cannot be publicly advertised, and A
can only be made known by information given in per-
sonal conversation. I am convinced th.at 'he number of
persons eligible is vastly greater than any estimates we
have made ; the only question is how to reach them and
bring them into fellowship w ith ns.
I would recommend that we make an appeal to each
member of the Empire State Society to supply himself
with the necessary printed matter explaining the purposes
of the Society and the steps to be taken to unite with it,
and to make it his duty to bring into the organization at
least two memliers before the date of the meetir.g of the
next National Congress, April 30, and tliat a record be
made b\ tb.e Secretary of the number of new members
th.at have been brought into the Society through the
exertions of each of the present members and that prot^er
credit be given to him for his endeavors in adding to the
stnMic^th of our organization.
Yours truly.
Horace Porter,
President-General.

THE TABLE'J'.
'IIF, jMciiKnial in lu'oti/c-, which \\ill 1
)(■ uiuoilea
ill Syracuse on June 17th next, is crccunl to pcr-
jKUiatc the memory of the; SoMiers and Sailors of
the American Kfvolulion wlio liave h\ecl in Onondaga
County. Tlie Memorial is the joint product of a long-
contimied and well-directed clTort of the Onon.daga Chap-
ter, J^aughters of the American Revohition, and of the
Syracuse Chapter, Sons of the American Kexolntion.
\Viiilc the idea was first conceived, and in its earli(^st
stages recei\ed the most encouragement in the Daughters'
Society, it perhaps can justly he stated that the erection of
this ^]emorial Tablet should ho considered as a consum-
mation, creditable in ecpud measure to ihe patriotic senti-
ments which exist in both of these societies.
The idea of a suitable permanent recognition of the
services and sacrifices of the Soldiers and Sailors of the
Revolution of Onondaga Count\- was first eanKst]^• jiro-
moted by Mrs. James !Mead Rc-iden., when she was State
Regent in the National Society of the D. A. R. The
subject was first effectively presented to the puhhc at a
joint meeting of these Chapters of the D. A. J\. and S. A.
R., held on the evening of December 6, 1900, in Syracuse,
to commemorate the One Hundredth Anniversarv oi the
death of George Washington. The writer organized tliat
meeting and invited 3.[rs. Belden to make an address on
some topic of allied interest. To the invitation she rejilied
that she would regard the occasion as a most proper time
to bring before the notice of the members of the Societies
tlie idea of a suitable memorial — an idea which at that
time had not taken any specific character. During the
program, ]\Irs. Belden addressed the meeting upon this
subject vcith a few well chosen words, which were deliv-
ered with adnn"rable earnestness. Her address in efi'cct
aroused the minds of some of her listeners to a sense of
the importance of a well-directed action tov.ard the con-
sunimation of her suggestion. The earnest and patriotic
character of her utterances o\\ that occasion inspired a
strong feeling throughout the audience, and as a result
the sentiments wdn'ch were so thoroughly promulgated
during Mrs. Belden's administration have now become
crystalized into a living memorial of enduring l.tronze — ■
a credit to her sincere interest in Society objects, and.
also to the Chapters which have been instrumental in
executing the suggestion. }vlatiy other members of the
Daughters' Society have earnestly worked for this object.
but in the broadest sense the memorial must be considered
as a living interpretation of the patriotic sentiments of
the two Chapters. The success of the enterprise is due
to tiie feeling of loyalty among the membership of these
Societies to the objects for which these Societies were
originally created, and not to individual personality.
The Tablet which is illustrated on the front page of
this number of the Spirit or 'yG recpiires no typogr;i[ihical
description. It speaks for itself and for the arti?t who has
conceived and modeled it. By many critics it is ] pro-
nounced the finest And most artistic memorial which has
ever been erectcl in Tablet form by any of the I\e\olu-
tionary Societies.
The work of raising funds for the purchi^e oi the
Memorial was taken up in the Daughters' Socieiv ^eNeral
years ago. It was etlectivcly started in the Daughters'
Society by the giving of a Colonial Ball under tlie leader-
ship of ^Irs. Chas. Edward Crouse, who at thar time
v.'as acting Regent of the Onondaga Chapter; I'he ."Syra-
cuse Chapter of the S.A. R. c<i-operated in this en;er-
prlse. but its success was undeniably due to the executive
ability and knowledge of social affairs possessed by the
acting-Regent. It was the most successful social function
of that season, and many now recall the event as tiie mo^t
brilliant social aiLiir in the history of Syracuse. It was
financially Micce.>>fnl and ieah7i.-d a large amount of
money for tlie Tahlel ]'^uid in the D.iughters' Societv'.
In September, k/jo, Mr. Jame- M. Belden was api.)Oint-
ed by the Syracuse Chapter of the Sons to raise funcls
for a Memorial. November 0th following, the .Syracuse
I "banter ajjpoinled a regular Tablet Committee. \\'il!iam
K. I'iercc, Douglass N. Green and James M. Belden were
named as this commitiee. On November lolh, the C)non-
daga Chapter of the Daughters appointed as tlieir eonv-
millee Mrs. I'lorinee (J. Doiiolnie, Mrs. James M. Bel-
ileii, Mrs. ]i. I). Dickinson and ]\Irs. Chas. h",. Crtm^e.
Incanse of illnesses and absences from the citv i<n- an
indrfniite time, re-api)(>intments were made in t)oth So-
cieties, which finally delegated the work of executing
this project permanently into the hands of these two com-
mittees. Representing the Daughters' Society — Mrs.
i'lorince ( ». ])onohue. Chairman; Mr^. E. D. Dickinsim,
Mrs. Chas. E. Crouse, Mrs. L. A". E. Eynch, ex-ofticio
member, as Regent. Ivepresenting the Sons' Societv —
hTnest C. ^lo'ses, Chairman ; Douglas N. (.irecn, Charles
W. W'ood, James M. Ijelden, ex-oflieio.
Many designs were submitted to the jc>int comnn'ttcc
Iiy Xew York and local artists; but after six or eight
monihs they were ail rejected, for the committees were
particularly desirous cji obtaining a design out-ide <u'
con\entional architectural character. A fortunate inci-
dent iinally brought the committees into acquaintance
witli r\lr. Isadore Konti, of New York, a rising voung
scu!})tor who was born in Hungary and who had receivecl
commissions from the Austrian Government for sculp-
toral work in Italy. I\Ir. Konti submitted a design in.
pla-ler which se' fully represented the object which ihe
eouimittces had in view that it was adopted without criti-
cism or dissent. iMr. Konti was given carte blanche in
e\ery respect, and tlte result is a work of art which re-
fiects his own sentiments and ideals. It is an artistic
interpretation of r\Ir. ]vonti's own individual feelings, and
of his conception oi the sentiments of patriotism, courage
and of the psychic heroic motives which inspire men to
endeavor and sacrifice for country. It should be said that
w hile ]\Ir. Konti is a ]Magyar by birth, he is an American
by adoption. The sentiments wrought out by him in this
e\ erlasting bronze represent the feelings of his own heart
towards the country of Avhieh. by thi:> one artistic crea-
tion if by none otiier, he has proven his clear title to
American sonship.
A R.0II of Honor of parchment, on wdiich is inscribed
about 300 names of Soldiers and Sailors of Ononda*ga
t ount_\, and handsomely framed, will be completed and
hung on one of the corridor walls of the post office on the
tlay of the unveiling.

tion by the Government, County and City officials, and
the occasion promises to be a mo>t memorable one. The
IMogram contemplates speeches and short addresses in
foim of greetings from the President-Generals of the

The orator of the occasion will be Senator Horace \Vhite.
Tl;j local military organizations. Grand Army I'ost and

THE SYRACUSE CHAPTER, S. A. R.
^ TlF, Syracuse Chapter, Sons of the American Revo-
j lution, is six years old this summer. The Chap-
1 ter owes its origin to the local Chapter of Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution. Reversing the order
of the Garden of Eden, the Daughters came first, and
after tliem the Sons.
It was at the hospitable home of 3.1r. and }drs. Dennis
McCarthy, on Fayette Park, that the first step toward the
formation of a local Chapter of Sons was taken. The
time was April 19, 1896; the occasion was the celebra-
ti'in of the Anniversary of the Battle of Lexington, under
the auspices of the Onondaga Chapter of the Daughters
"f the American Revolution, of which Mrs. McCarthy, a
lineal descendant of P.enjamin Franklin, was Regent.
The address for the occasion was given by 'Mr. }vIiIton
H. X'orthrup. In clieerful compliance with the request of
ihc Regent, and others, who believed it was not good for
die Daughters to be longer alone, the speaker, at the
close of his atjdress, aiinouneed th.at it was proposed to
lorin in Syracuse a Chapter of Sons of the American
Revolution, and to make the start that night.
Several gentlemen present promptly handed in their
'••'-uieN for membership, of the proposed Chapter. The
"■cretary of the Empire State Society was communicated
"•'■'■di. the necessary blanks obtained, one after aitother of
'"'■ applicants^ accepted for membership, until the roll
''■ntained the names of the reqiusite t"ifteen.
i he fifteen joined in a formal petition for a Chapter,
;''"d on July 15, 1896, were rewarded with a document,
^•' ariii^j- the Empire State Society's official seal, announc-
■ -r that the petilkm li.id iicen granted and the Syracuse
'. ''•'I'ter duly" chartered. The Chapter dates, then, from
5. 1896.
jnlv
til the organization of the Chapter, which soon fol-
"^''^■d, Milton H. NortUrup was elected President. The
first secretary was Percy Franklin ]~.mory, another lineal
descendant of Renjaniin Franklin. Pelore the year was
u\i tlie Cha].ter had grown to about tliii ty members. ]\cg-
tikir meetings were Iield, at which interesting papers were
read by members. Uccasionally there were joint meet-
ings v.ifii the Daughters, the latter freely opening their
homes for the purpose.
Mr. Douglas N. Green succeeded Mr. Northrnp as
President of liie Chajiter, in an administration made
noteworthy by the entertainnu-nts, he personally provitled
at nis home, and by an elabor<ife banquet on Wa.diinglon's
liirthday, given by him at the Syracuse Club. He was
followed by Xlr. A\ illiani K. Pierce, who abundantly main-
tained the social features which distinguished the 'admin-
istration of I'lis immediate predecessor. Several times
President Pierce L'pened his elegant home on James street
for receptions and anniversary entertainments.
The fouith and present incumbent of the I'resident's
chair is Mr. James .Mead P.eldeii, wdiose accomplished
wife has been State Regent of the D. A. R. President
I'elden has likewise shown a deep interest in the affairs
of the Chapter, although family bereavement and long
ab-ence abroad ha\-e prevented a mure exten-i\e personal
interest in the Cluqiter. Under his administration, and
mainl} due to tlie untiring work and irresistible push of
Secretary Charles Wells Wood, the membership of the
Chapter has been increased from forty to more than one
hundred members, 'khe Syracuse Chapter holds to-day,
we believe, the record as the largest Chapter of the Em-
pire State Society, outside of the Metropolis.
A recent occasion of rare interest to the Ch3j)ter was the
celebration of Washington's Birthday, closing in an elab-
orate banquet at the Century Club, at which Principal
Wickes of the Syracuse High School was toast-master ;
and speeches appropriate to the day were made by the best
oratorical talent the Chapter, or indeed the City, could
contmand.
Not a few of the Revolutionary anniversaries have
been appropriately and instructively observed by tl;e
Syracuse Chapter during its few years of existence —
among them the Battles of Lexington, Concord, Bunker
Hill, Cowpens, Ticonderoga, etc. Recently the Chapter
has been entertained by Compatriots Cliarles Wells
Wood, William K. Pierce, Thomas Emory and Forbes
Heermans.
No sketch of the history of the Syracuse Chapter of
the Sons of the American Revolution can be complete
without a due record and proper acknowledgment of the
splendid work, in the upbuilding of the Chapter, per-
formed by its indefatigable secretary, Charles Wells
Wood. The phenomenal growth of the Chapter to more
than double its membership a few months ago, shows
\\ hat one man can accomplish when inspired by an un-
quenchable enthusiasm and an irresistible determination.
In very truth it may be said of him — 'Tie's a Wonder!"
It was a graceful, well-deserved mark of appreciation
of Secretary Wood's valued services, which was recently
shown by the Empire State Society, when it elected Mr.
\\'ood as one of its \'ice-Presidents.
To those wdio sneer at Patriotic Societies as accom-
plishing no good, the Tablet about to he placdl in the wall
of the U. S. Government Building in Syracuse is the
best answer. The Sons and Daughters of the American
Revolution have, after no little etlort and at the exper^se
of no little time, succeeded in rescuing hundreds of Revo-
lutionary heroes from oblivion, and have engrossed their
names in enduring parchment, where they will remain,
generation after generation, a perpetual inspiration to
ennobling patriotism.

Till': fDiiiuhilion of OiK>u(ia-:i C1i;i[U(.t, ]). A. J\
was laid ill ll"''J4 l>y rs few patiiolic \vcjiiioii, in 'Jic
home of Mrs. Deiini;i Mcl'iirtli)-, wlnrc scvrra
nicrtin;4S were lieUl during- the year uir cunsiiliatioii and
to discuss the best methods of work to be undertaken.
'J")k' name wliieh it now bears was adiipted, and Mrs.
McCartliy was chosen ]\ei,'-ent.
'J'lie first regular mcetiuL,'- was held jauuaiy 28, 1895,
at th.e home of the JvCi^cnt, but it was nrjt until August
of that year that Miss Isabella Forsyth, iIku Slate Regent
of New York, nu-l wiih the ladies at "Overl()ok'/' Mrs.
MeCarth}'s summer home in Cazenovia, presented the
new organization with its Charter, conhrmed the appoint-
ment of Mrs. Maiy l^laehe McCarthy as Regent, and On-
ondaga Chapter with its fourteen cliarter members was
ofliciaily enrolled on the list of Chapters of the Daugli-
Icrs of the American Revoli;tion of the Slate of New
York.
■ Mrs. McCarthy hekl the ofllcc of R(^gcnt until No-
vember, 1899, discharging its duties to th.e general satis-
faction of the Chapter, when having served the full time,
allowed under the Constitution, she retired and the title
of Honorary Regent was conferred upon her in recog-
nition of her service as founder and organizer of the
Chapter, and her judicious administraiion of the delicate
duties of Regent during ihe formative period of its exis-
tence.
Our second Regent, and the first elected under our
chatter, v.-as Mrs. Mary Truesdell Leavenworth, born in
Onondaga County, and bearing a name familiar in State
and Comity history. IMrs. Leavenwortli served two
terms, during which time our membership increased and
much work was accomplished for our soldiers in Cuba
and the Philip})ines. In the absence of ])drs. Leaven-
worth, during a part of her first term, the honors and
duties of Regent were ably borne by the Vice-Regent,
Mrs. Alta Pease-Crouse.
The third and present Regent, Mrs. Louise Van Loon
Lynch, was elected in November, 1901.
The present membership is one hundred. The Chap-
ter has had three Real Daughters, IMrs. Mary Ellis Ilar-
giii, our only native real Daughter, Iiorn at Onondaga
Hill, September 8, 1812, youngest child of General John
Ellis; iVirs. Mary Warner Hubbell. born in \'erinont, but
who lived the greater part of her life in Onondaga Coun-
ty, died September i, 1898, at the ripe age of 98 years;
Mrs. Jerusha Taylor Rockwell, daughter of one of 'VVash-
inglon's Life Guards, born at Pine Plains, N. Y., August
6, 1824, died October 23, 1901, at whose grave in Mar-
cellus the Chapter will next fall place a marker.
Although Onondaga Chapter in its local hi-tory, lacks
many of the incentives to enthusiasm wliich sonie Chap-
ters have, it has f-rom the outset been alert and active in
inspiring patriotic interest, and has always responded as
its resources might permit, to calls for assistance in the
larger work of the National Society.
The Chapter awards annually two prizes of ten anvl
five dollars respectively, to pupils' in our pu.bh.c ?c!;ooIs
for the best and second best essays on American histMry,
and an additional prize of twenty-five dollars was this
year voted to be given the student in our L'niversity wlio
shall write the best essay on our National hi>.tiuy, t> be
r-tad at the approaching ("ommenccnient exercises.
The "Ellsworth Lecture" on American history, pre-
pared for our Polish and Italian citizens, and illuil rated
with lantern slides, was given under the auspices of C^r.-
ondaga Chapter to the Italians of our city in thv-ir own
language. One of their countrymen, Professor Spinello,
of St. John's School, Manlius, acting as interpreter.
]'';ftv dollars was coutributt-d to the Reubena II\de
Walworth mnminu'iil at Saratoga; twenty~tAe dc'llars
1 wa.^ Sent t(j Nantuckft, Mass., to go toward a iriem'jrial
to mark the birtlii)lace of Abiah Folger Franklin, mother,
of Renjaniin I'Vanklin, ancestor of our first Regent.
I'ifty dollars were sent last January to Wasb.ingtoii for
\.\w tA)!itinental I fall Fund, and ten dollars was voted
to the AlcKinlcy Memorial Fund.
Several large consignments of bedding, clothing, books
and other comforts for our sick and wounded soldiers
at th.e I'hdippincs, were sent to the hospitals at ^Manila,
w lu re tliey were distributed by two of our Onondaga
Daughters, IMiss jMary Rust and her, sister, Mrs. Rosa-
niiMid Ru^t Lynch, wife of Dr. Charles Lyncli, L". S. A.,
son of our honored Jvegcnt.
In i8o''>, when the war with Spain broke out, eighteen
trained nurses were endorsed by the Chapter and sent to
vaiious army stations, among them being Clara Ward,
a gradual e from the Hospital for Women and ChiMren,
of this city. Mi<s Ward was assigned to duty in the
Military Hospital at I'ort Myer, A'a., and given charge
of a ward of typhoid patients and had the happiness of
seung inaiiy of her cliarges struggle back to heahh, but
lur own strength, so freely given for others, broke under
the strain, and on October 28, 1S9S, only six weeks
after entering upon lier last service, sh.e "surrendcied
her bra\e soul unto its Captain — Christ."
A brass tablet recording Clara Ward's heroic sdt-
sacrifice, and bearing the insignia of the National So-
ciety, was placed by the Daughters in the hospital from
which she was graduated, and a flag — the eift of Hia-
,ii
ll'M
watha Chapter, Children of the Revolution — liangs
draped above it.
We take pleasure in mentioning the lectures we liave
had on American Flistory from Professor Ivlace and
Professor Flick, of Syracuse Univer.'^ity ; Rev. V;m.
Reauchamp, the widely known authority on Iriquois His-
tory and lore; Rev. Carl Schwartz; Mrs. jManross, nns-
sionary at the Onondaga Indian Reservation, and others.
Several brilliant social functions have been given by
the Chapter, the reception at the home of Mrs. iMcCarthy
10 Mrs. Belden on becoming State Regent; the Bal
Poudre, commemorative of Washington's birthday, wdien
in Colonial costume the Sons and Daughters danced <"Sir
Roger de Co\erly"; the Boston Jea Party and the exhibit
of old china and silver at the home of Mrs. Wmi. Kasson
Pierce, our Vice-Regent; the reception given bv Mrs.
Mary Bertram Woodworth in her house filled w-ith Col-
'•nial treasures; a merry gathering of Sons and Daugh-
ter-^ ai the home of Mrs. Franklin Pierce Denison. These
are a uw of the many happy gatherings in commemora-
liou of good old Colony days.
Four of our Daughters have received promotion, de-
served but unsought, to positions of honor and responsi-
bility in otner organizations.
At the National Congress of the D. A. R. at Wash-
ington, in 189S, iMrs. Jessie Van Zile Belden, then, our
\ ice-Rcgent and a Charter member, was elected State
Regent of New York. She held the otlice tv.o terms,
discharging the duties with tact and ability, and on her
r-'tirement from the Regency, New York stood tirst in
having the largest number of Chapters of any State in the
Union.
Aiuither Cliarter mcir.ber, Miss Amanda Dows, was
e.irly aiipoiuted by the State Regent to organize and be-

ing of S. A. ]■ . and D. A. R., tlidt a Tablet l)e placed
(.11 one of our public buildings in memory of three lum-
dred soldiers buried in this viciiiity, who fought in the
Revolution. It was further recommended that the Sons
lit- asked to join the Daughters in doing this work. A
icw months later tlie co-operati(3n of the .Sons was
pledged, committees from both organizations were ap-
pe'inted to act jointly in procuring designs and speciti-
Cotions for such a memorial,- and the beautiful bronze
Tablet on our Government building, wdiich will be un-
veiled on the 37th of this month, is the result of this
eombiued action.
In coming years children's children, reading names

Sugar House, missionary to this new country of Cen-
tral New York, Chaplain of th.c Lower House of Con-
.i^ress in the early years of our awful civil strife, and
when 10:? years of age, fron: the pulpit of the First
I'resbytcriau Church, invoked the favor of the God of
l-Jattles, over the remains of the brave General Edwin
\'ose Sumner, himself the veteran of many wars. They
will be told of another centenarian, Conradt Bush, the
Hessian mercenary, in the pay of our British foe, wdio
deserted their ranks to cast in his lot with our just
cause.

to literary worl:, contributing, from time to time, to
ISADORF. KONTI.
Mlv. KOXTI, who modelled the design from which
the- bron/e casthig uf the Memorial was madi-,
is a sculi.)tor e-.f great genius, lie was ].. .rn in
or near Vienna in 18O2, and began his studies in the
Imperial Academy of Fine Arts at the age of lift'/en. He
there won a scho!ar>liip which en.j.bled him to stu(jy two
}cars ill It;d}, and on Ids return to \ ienna, he executed
a number of fuie pieces of art fur the ornamentation of
imblic works in A'ienna. He came to the United ."states
in 1890 and went directly to Chicago, where he produced
some sculptural work v\hich soon g:ive him fame in the
country of his adoption. After tlic great World's laii-
he went to New ^'ork, where he has since been engaged
in \-ari.ius decorative works for both pubUc and private
buildings.
IMr. Konti obtained injtable success in the production
of sculpture for the Pan-American Exposition. His
work in the ornamentatiou of the Temple of Music was
especially beautiUil and worthy oi comment and lasting
praise. The architecture of the building was in a light
and graceful style, and there was ilothing in the archi-
tectural lines and de^igns which in any way suggested
heaviness or severitw Mr. Konti ])rLiduced four statues-
que groups for thi> building, which were strikingly in
keeping witli the ideas which should be expressed in the
ornamentation of such a structure. These groups ^vere
of a most elaborate character and were placed over the
four entrances of the building. Tliese four groups were
made to represent the following typical features of mu-
sic— namely; "Heroic iMusic," "Sacred Music,"' "Gay
iMusic"' and "Lyric Music." Each one of these groujis
was considered by intelligent critics to most beautifully
typify the various sentimental aspects of music. The
Temple of ]Music will ever be in a sense a monument to
the genius of Mr. Konti, and it is regrettable that this
monument cannot be a permaneirt one. The memory of
the beauty of these works will, however, be long per-
petuated by photographic representations and through
the memory of those wdio beheld it.
Another piece of sculpture wdiicli Islr. Konti produced
for the Pan-American Exposition is especially worthy of
comment. It was a group displayed on the Eastern side
of the Esplanade. Among the various groups by ditt'er-
ent sculptors portraying the struggle of man- in his ad-
vancement from savagery and brutality to enlightenment
and civilization is one by Mr. Konti entitled the "Des-
potic Age." It was a group of figures in wdiich slaves
are bending forward endeavoring to drag a heavy chariot
in which is a female llgure in the act of appl}'ing the lash
to the unfortunates who are condemned to servitude.
The despot is portrayed by the figure of a man wdtli a
ruthless and domineering expression utterly oblivious of
aiul insensible io the sufferings of his fellow beings.
Mr. Konti also produced several very beautiful figures
of children for the Pan-American.
Another piece of work which secured for ^Ir. Konti
a well-earned reputation was the West Indies Group oi
the Dewey Arch erected in New York in 1800.
^[r. Konti's work in designincr and modelling the On-
ondiaga County Soldiers Memorial is considered by man_\-
to be the most beautiful and artistic memorial ever erected
bv the patriotic societies of America. It requiies no
description for the illustration- appearing in the press de-
scribes it better than any words of type or pen.

OUR ANTI-ANARCHIST MOVEMENT.
Editor of Spirit of 76 :
It is generally known, I presume, that at our last Con-
gress we resolved to take a new -departure in Patriotic
Endeavor. With your indulgence I would like to state the
purpose of the movement.
Many earnest men have begun to show an unwilling-
ness to. neglect their business responsibilities to enjoy
post-prandial oratory, however excellent, or to discuss
political platitudes, however indisputablbe, so long as
they feel that they are not furthering any practical pur-
pose. To give expression to this idea, the following
preamble and resolutions were offered, and after due con-
sideration unanimously adopted.
Whereas, One of the principal objects of this Society
is to inculcate the spirit of American patriotism among
the people ;
And whereas, i\Iany thousands of foreigners, aliens in
language and purpose, come to our land every year, whose
education in the spirit of American in>titutions is of the
highest importance, and
Whereas, V/ork of this nature is in full accord with
the purposes of this organization; therefore
Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed by the
President-General at his early convenience to consider
some practical means by which the foreign element and
others in our country, particularly those who have formed
associations which seem to be inimical to our institutions,
may be informed concerning distinctly American princi-
ples in order that they may become patriotic citizens of
ihe land of their adoption.
The President-General appointed the following named
gentlemen upon the Conunittee: Gov. Franklin Murphy,
of New Jersey; Hon. Jas. Denton Hancock, of Pennsyl-
\';uiia; Gen. hiancis 1 1. xXppli.lun, of Mass.; Jud^e M(^r-
ris W. Rearilslcy, of (/onn., ;i'.id your subscriber, as' the
mover of (he resolutions.
The ConimiltLe has not nul, but from c'ji rc>[)oiulcuce
I think 1 may A-entm"e to s;i_\- that there scinis to be a
coneensu;; of opinion, as to our leadin.g puriuise. As 1
understand it, it is that our Inst move should l)f lo have
simple inslrui'ti\ (.' tracts translated into various lan-
guages audi placed in the hands of all who seem to be
in danger of being ceuitanunaled with anarcliistie p.rin-
ciples.
I have received a number of suggestions as lo hi:)w we
should dispose of this kind of literature after wc shall
liave secured it. (,,)ne suggestion is that it slioulj be
placed in the hands of immigrants as S(ion as tliov land
on our shores. Another methrjd proposed b}' an a\owed
Socialist, himself a foreij^ner, is that it should be given
to immigrants on ship-board on their way o^er, as he
says that the hrst impressions are aKvays the strongest.
Another suggestion is that essays of a discreetly argu-
mentative character should be pul:ili-hed in anarchistic
papers, printed in foreign languages, in this country. J
am assured that they will be printed even if unfaxurably
criticised.
Others advise lo distrilnite them thr^jugh benevolent
workers iri the settlements. Thr^'Ugh such agencies as the
Hull House, iu Chicago, and the Salvation Army in
various localities.
But before formulating any plan of action we need
information, and this, it would seem, can be best ob-
tained by our State societies in certain localities v.here
men of anarchistic proclivities are known to be most
luunerous. It is important to know of what nationality
the anarchistic elemen.t in a given locality is made up.
W'hether it is simple, theoretical, as among the Karl
Marx Socialists, or avowedly aggressive, as among the
followers of Bakunin, or whether without anv p^retended
theory of justitlcation. as found in the criminal class.
It is important aL-.o for us to know whether in certain
places we will have to deal with Christian or Atheistic
anarchists. We should also know, approximately, their
number, employment, degree of ignorance, and poverty.
The Committee will, of couirse, have to ascertain these
facts, and will probably appeal to all compatriots for in-
formation and suggestions.
After this essentia! data is collected the harder task
will remain of having papers written and translated, and
such oral addresses made as will further our purpose.
\\ hen Huxley wished to illustrate the co-relation of forces
he wrote the "History of a Candle.'' It will be just
such plain, untechnical statements that they will need.
In addressing these instructions atid appeals, the im-
portant thing will be to ascertain what the anarchists think
of us. What misconceptions they have formed as to
American principles, what moral perversions they have
suffered in life-long poverty and frcnn inherited tradi-
tions of oppression.
It is apparent, of course, tliat the object oi this ex-
periment is to make certain foreign elements of our
population a source of strength and not of danger to
our institutions. Some say we v>ill fail. "If we screw
our courage to the sticking point we will not fail." But
if we should fail, will we not at least liave performed a
patriotic duty? If failure is inevitable,
"Then night and chaeis. Ancestors of X"ature. will hold
eternal Anarchy."

have talked a great deal with the Count about the S<:'ciety. and
he is greatly disafipointcd at the thought of not meeting tlie

PRINTED MONTHLY BY LOUIS H. CORNISH,
AT 239 BROADWAY, COR. OF PARK PLACE, ROOT! 26 (OrrOS!TE CITY HALL PARK), NEW YORK CITY
AT ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR OR TEN CENTS A COl'Y.
COMPy\TKOITS! What we want arc members!
We are not gaining niinihcis as we shonld.
TluTe are a million iligible men in this coni'-
try, anil we slionld not be satisfied until we have at least
one-tenth c f them tnrolled as Sons of the American
Revohition.
We often hear the remark that yon should join the
right society. Wc know tliere sliould be but one so-
ciety of descendants of Revolutionary sires, and the
one thai has no one on its rolls but lineal descendants
is the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.
c
OiMjMERCIAIJSM and patriotism combined
can accomplish what neither can do alone.
The May issue of The Spirit of '76 gave
a great deal of space to the Syracuse Chapter, because
it could afford to, as the business men of that city adver-
tised extensively for the good of the cause. This did noi
cost the Society a cent, and the Chapter reaped the ben-
efit. We can do likevise with other chapters or so-
cieties when they want a lift, and that is one of the rea-
sons of oi'r being alive to-day.
This issue of The Spirit of 'j6 is an attractive and
interesting one to the members of the S.A. R., and if
you are one it may strike you as being worth your while
to send a dollar to the publisher for a year's subscrip-
tion.
The pilgrimage to Saratoga Springs on the anni-
versary of the Battle of Eemis' Heights, September 19,
is progressing. A cfiapter of the Empire State Society,
S. A. R., is being furmed, and in conjunction with tlie
D. A. R. Ch.apter a pleasant time may be expected.
Mr. George \. Farnham, proprietor of the American
Adelphi Hotel, is one of the Board of ^VFanagers of the
Empire State Society, S. A. R., and an enthusiast in the
work of the order, and any of our compatriots who go
to Sarai:''ga will find a C'jrdial welcome from hini on
makin.g known the fact that thev are an S. A. R.
James M. Brush, "Bluntington's First Citizen," v^'ho
died recently on Fong Island, was born at Bath-on-the-
Hudson, November 20, 1S45. tie was one of twelve
children. On his fatlier's side he was descended from
Richard Brush, who came from England in 1672.
Mr. Brush was eligible through his great-grand-
father, Jesse Brush, to membership in the Empire State-
Society. S. A. R.. and at his burial that Society was
represented by Conipatroit W. W. J. Warren.
WTTtI all the wealth of material printed in this
number of our paper, let not the reader over-
look the page that discusses the New Patri-
otism. It is, in a sense, an epitome of all the rest, for
it provides a way to give a practical expression to ab-
stract sentiment. In fact, the page is bristling wiih
practical suggestions.
Any member of the Sons of the Aaierica.n Revolu
to the office of t
Mr. Theodore F. Seward, the edili.n- of the page, is
well kno\\r! for his devotion to the can.se of umiy. Jle
founded the Brotherhoi'>d of Christian Cn.ily, winch
prepared the wav for the efforts that are r.ow being-
made for church federation. Now he propuses a
"Golden Rule Federation of the World," and shows
how we can begin \.> work at once f'lr the gradual
realization of that ideal, lirst give a slrong<-r em-
phasis to the Golden J<ule iri the Injine life. Then
emphasize the principles in the schoul. To facilitate
this, Mrs. Seward has prepared a very interesting plat-
form exercise or entertainment for Golden R;de iJay, or
any other time. Also begin ar once to affiliate all ex-
isting societies and clulis through the Golden Rule I'\-d-
eration as a cinnmon center.
This is surelv a practical program in wdn!ch every
right-minded man and woman can take a ])art. We
propose to contimie the department of the New Patri-
otism every month under Mr. Seward's direction, and
ask friends to help us with piactical suggestions, or at
least by expressing iheir interest in some way. Fook
over the list of memberships and select one of them.
We want to get the thought of the New Patriotism
OF THE Golden Rule into the minds of America's
seventy millions, and wil! do it as fast as money is pro-
vided through the extension of Honorary Alember-
ships.
Messrs. Amn'n &' Co. have in stock nn'niature silk-
standards of the Sons of the American Revolution,
Founders and Patriots and Society of Colonial \\ ars.
They are very attractive for household decorations and
also for banquet souvenirs. The Chapter Banner of the
Empire State Society was made by this firm and is an
elegant piece of work. Mr. Ames, of the firm, is chair-
man of the Empire State Entertainment Committee, and
can fill an order, no matter how large, in the shortest
time possible. The contract for the flags of the Inter-
national Exposition of Decorative Art at Turin., Italy,
has been secured bv Annin & Co.
At the meeting of the Board of Managers, Fri'lay,
Alay 2, 1902, the following members were elected to
serve as members of the Executive Committee for the
ensuing year :
President-General Edwin Warfiehl,
Harold G. L'nderwood,
Morris K. Beardsley,
W. W. J. Warren, '
Hon. Franklin Murphy,
General Francis H. Appleton,
General Joseph C. Breckenridge,
Judge Hancock.
Secretary-General PIas!:ins was appointed ex-otTicio
Secretary of the Executive Committee.

'idle weather bureau had been subsidized and br'!Ui;ht
forth sonic of its rarest products v. ith a lavish hand.
All departnieiits of the greatest of government ^ vied
with each other to do honor to the cream of American
citizenship, which had assemljled from all parts of the
Continent to av.aken interest in the patriotism '.au-Ld!;
by their sires and for the purpo:.e of instilHng mto the
sordid mind of the present generation some of the
sturdy precepts ot the makers of tltis ciumtrv.
'i"he headquarters were in the New WiHaril. which is
a modern structure with more than modern prices.
Rooms that had been spoken fur a mouth jireviijus to
the Congress were not reserved, and in several instances
extortionate j'rices were asked by the management for
rooms, i'or instance, $8 a night for lodging oidy v.as
charged for two in a rooni, with the result that the oc-
cupants went elsewdiere. A delegate from Kentuckv
who had secured, as he supposed, a room fcir S5. jier
night, was told that he could have <'ne f'jr $8. Xumer-
ous complaints were made of thi? kind, biu as the liou_-l
management could get what they aslced or the tnembers
could get otit, mixst of them had to sul rnit. The illus-
tration of the hotel herewith, shows a handsome struc-
ture, but to get the proper perspective you needs must
stand on vour head.

Iry, alter which an elocpient ad'iress by Mrs. Donald
Mci.ean, the J)emosthenes uf the LK A. Iv., was listened
to l)y the assendjled sons.
A brief survey of the home of Washington and then
awti) to Marshall 11 all oijpe'site, where a planked shad
dinner was on the program, but as dimiers had l.)een
ordered for 350 and 700 jjut in an appearance, Squier was
heard to say that what he got cjf tiie shad was a nar-
rative (.i. e., a tailj.
L'.uL the}- did the best th.ey could nn.der the circum-
stances, and the outing v.as a delightful one, and memo-
ries of it will linger in the nnn.ds of the participants for
manv years to come.
The gr.ind fmale, however, was reserved for the ban-
quet, which was probably the most notable one ever
given in this country. L'ver seven hundred descendants
of Americans whose ancestors fijught for the freedinn
of these L'nited States sat down to a feast of rea-^em and
a tiow" of soul.
The toastmaster, David J. Hill, Assistant Secretary
of State, had around him the greatest of Americans,
who came at his bidding to do honor to our society, and
they felt tlie enthusiasm of their audience and s[)oke in
no uncertain words the thc^ughis their environment
produced.
The r'resident of the United States, Compatriot Theo-
dore Roosevelt, gave a heart-to-heart talk without fear
or favor. Compatriot Senator j\larcus Hanna talked in
a business wav to his Society's sons. Senator Lodge,
who knows wdien he is appreciated, was at his best, and
remarks by Walter Seth Logan, Ldwin Wariield and
Jiihn Cioode made an array of talent in the talking line
that it is seldom the fortune of a man to listen to in one
evening.
A pleastmt feature of the evening was the presenta-
tion by Judge John Wdiiteliead to W'alti^r Seth Logan,
whose generosity made possible tlie National Register
of the Sons of tlie American Revolution, Xo. i by the
publisher.
The case is made from wood taken from the Morris
house, W'asliington's headquarters in New Y'^rk, wdiicli
was built in 175S, and in which lived Mary Phillips as
the wife of Col. R.oger ^^lorri^. It was afterwards known
as the Jumel mansion, that 'Mr. Logan had so nutch io
do witli settling the estate. The top is niade from a
beam of bVaunces tavern, where Washington bade fare-
well to hi? generals and wliere in the long roijm tlie
Xati'jiial Societ\- of the Sons of the Anierican Revolu-
tion was organizc<l.
The body of the box is of Connecticut oak, reprcsc.it-
ing the sturdy manhood of our compatriot, and the Lo-
gan coat-of-arm> which emblazons tlie top is jKtrti.^u-
larlv ap]nopriate t'l Ins cb.aracter. The chief is of pure
gold ; on its base, a large heart, u Inch those who kuinv
him feel sure he has.

ALBERT J. SQUIER,
THE \Y:\\iY) M'ALLISTER OF THE S. A. R.
ONE of the most urgent needs of onr annual con-
gresses is a general committee to act with the
local committee in the reception of guests.
To he;'.(l this conmiittee it needs a genial man who will
n>ake himself known to the str,anger delegate when he
arrives.
There is a man in the Empire State Society who can
fill this position to perfection. He knows "who is who,"'
or if he doesn't he fmds out and makes it pleasant for
the lonesome one. He is an indefatigable worker and
has the congress-attending habit so thoroughh- im-
pr(*gnated in his system that it is feared he will never
get over it.
As a chaperon to the ladies he is a grand success.
His manly beauty and courtly manners, so deftlv com-
bined with his almost painful ditlidence mark Irim to be
the beau ideal for the position of the \\'ard McAllister
of the S. A. R.
DINNER GIVEN TO HORACE PORTER,
AMBASSADOR TO FRANXE AND EX-PRESIDENT GENERAL

French flags; wreaths- of green were festooned about

American beauty, and fleur-de-lisle, tvpifving America
and France. ]\[. Glared Poulard, steward of the Arts
Club, who was chef at the ^^d^ite House under Presi-
dent Harrison, was given carte blanche to do his best
and he did.
ATr. Logan gave the dinner in consideration of the f.Tct that
the chief guest was president of the French Society of the S'^^ns
f^f the .Kmerican Revohition and also ex-president general of
the i^ational society of the order. The dinner was served by M.

"many eloquent, able and distinguished m.en in the United
State?, but I doubt if there is one who has bound himself so
closely to the hearts of the American people as has General
Porter. There is no more- distinctise .American that he upon
the face of the earth, and we are here to-night to honor a man
wb.o is worthy of all honor.''
"You liave been doing great things here at home since I have
been away," said General I'orter. "Becoming a world power
and taking in colonies, but the greatest of all colonies is the
.American colony in Paris. It was there that an .American
wom.an 'aid down the dictum for all good families. She said:
T ne\er do anything unless my hiisband wants me to — and then
i-,ot unless I feel like it.' In speaking of the recent mission to
this ceuintry. President Loubet said to me: 'We iuive sent a
n'l'ssicin to the corMpati'in in England, a mission to Sp:un and
another to Russia, our ally, but I want that to .America to be
second to none.' "
.A.niong the other speakers were Consul General Bruwaert
and General Horatio C. King.

I nient:

I tlie W'asliin^ilon arms — the caple and the itars and stripes—
I ;nid the (Ue-pointed stars and red stripes are presumed to have
I siip>;ested the design for the American Flag;
"Whereas, This monument marks the burial place of Eliiia-
lietli W'ashiniTton, of the family from which Geor;;e Washing-
t(.n directly descended;
"Whereas, '1 he maintenance of this monument is of deep in-
terest to the Sons of the American Revolution, and it should
be most carefidly safe'jnardec'; .-nid,
"Whereas, Reverend James L. J^larr, Rector ot the parish,
has written that an annual expenditure of ;>.?5o is necessary
inr the maintenance of the monument and the accommodation
of American visitors to the church, and has also announced
that the co-operation of the Sons will be gladly accepted; be it
"Resolved, That the President l)e and hereby is requested
to appoint a committee of three on the Stars and Stripes Monu-
ii'.ent, with full power to act, whose duty it shall be to inquire
into the condition of church and monun^.ent, and who shall, if
the inquiry prove satisfactory, arrange for subscriptions from
the State societies to the aggregate amount of $250, w^ith the
understanding that the money will be forwarded to Reverend
J. F. Marr, or the church authorities, for use in the mainten-
ance of the monument and the accommodation of American
visitors to the church."
The President appointed as the Stars and Stripes Commit-
tee, with full power to act, William M. Bunker, A. Ploward
Clark and Z^Lajor General Francis Appleton. The committee
has inquired into the condition of church and m.oiiument, agree-
able to the resolution, and takes pleasure in reporting that the
plan of maintenance proposed in the preamble and resolution
is legitimate and praisew-orthy and in a line with the specific
purpose^ of this patriotic organization.
Tlie action of the National Congress having been communi-
cated to James F. Marr, Rector of Holy Trinity of the Minor-
ies, in which is the Stars and Stripes Monument, that gentle-
man, under date of London, JSIay 23, igoj, has written an ap-
preciative letter of acknowledgcn'.ent, in the course of which
he says:
"I have it in my mind ultimately to have a small tablet
erected in the old building commemorating- this pleasant inci-
dent and the interest shown in this movement by the Sons of
th.e American Revolution."
The committee asks your society to subscribe such an amount
to the Stars arKi Stripes Mounment Fund as the circum.stanccs
would seem to warrant. While the fund named in the resolu-
tion is $250, it is hoped that the subscriptions -will aggregate
a much larger sum, in order that the work of safeguarding the
monument may be continuously performed. The annual ex-
pense of maintaining the monuinent and making it accessible
at all reasonable hours to American visitors is fixed at $250,
so that this amount will be needed each year. Of course, your
subscription will be for one year, unless otherwise indicated by
your society. .As stated during the discussion of this project
at the_ last session of Congress, any one of many of the State
societies could give the total amount and not miss it from its
funds, but it_was thought that the patriotic interest of the inci-
dent would be best subserved by allowing all the societies to
siibscribe. In order to hasten the transfer of the funds to Holy
Irinity of the Minories. it is respectfully suggested that the
subscriptions of your society be forwarded by August I5ih. .All
subscriptions should be sent to Treasurer-General Nathan

JUNE, 1(;02.
PRFSIDFNT-GENEKAL LOGAN: Wc meet here as the
'TiiosLs of the District of Cokinibin Society; and it gives inc
"rcit pleasure Jo iii'roducc to you the Honorable Noble D.
r-nn. r, President of the District of Columbia Society.
HOx\'( )RA1'.LE NOBLE D. EARNER: Mr. rresidont-Gen
cri! and Compatriots of the National Congress of the Sons of
ll'ic 'American Revolution, it is with very great pleasure that J
Invc the honor on tlii? occasion to extend to you on behalf
of our Society a hearty welcome to this, the most beautitul
city, and the capital city, of our Country. I welcome you here
to-day, not because you are the representatives of any particular
State" or Territory, but as representatives of our glorious Union
as'a whole; a Union that owes its existence to the self-sacritices
and irresistible actions of the noble old patriots from whom wc
claim the privilege of calling ourselves "Sons of the American
Revolution." • . .
Some nine or ten years ago wc had the pleasure of cntertaiiinig
ou"r National Congress in this city. Then our local society was
small in numbers as well as in inHuencc. Since that period the
"spirit of patriotism has been largely on the increase in our city,
and to-day we are proud to say that instead of being classed as
among the smallest of the societies we have so far advanced as
to be recognized as one of the larsje branches of the great Tree
of Liberty. The fire is freshly burning in our midst, and we are
bold enough to express the liope that the day is not far distant
when we will be able to say to our compatriots from New Eng-
land, where the cfForts of our old Patriotic Fathers fitst began,
tliat ve no longer march in the rear of any other society. 1 l.erc-
forc it behooves all of you to keep your eyes open and watch
well your colors.
When we extended to -you an invitation to hold the meeting
of the Congress of 1902 in this most beautiful city of the greatest,
most glorious and most prosperous country of the world, we
promised to do the best we could to make your stay among us
such that the day would never come wdien you should regret
that you had accepted our invitation. We have no battletields
or other historic places of the Revolution to show you, but we
have many things far more beautiful and important to an Ameri-
can than any. battlefield can be, whose beauty is the result of the
great and self-sacrificing efforts of our patriotic ancestors upon
historic battlefields. We are proud of our National Congress,
and our great aim is to so conduct the affairs of our Society as
to insure the friendsliip and good wishes of all our compatriots,
no matter with what Society they may be connected.
We may be pardoned for saying a little in relation to the city
of Washington, and that is that it is not only the most beautiful
city of our country, but tiie most unique and extraordinary as to
its mode of government. For tnany years our city ?nd the
District of Colum.bia was governed like all other cities in our
Union, that is, by the people, exercising the right of franchise.
This, however, has been changed. Years ago the Government of
the United States, through the Congress, assumed the duty of leg-
islating for our people, thereby relieving them of all responsibility
as to city and District affairs, which are now directly managed
by a Board of three Commissioners, appointed by the President
of the L^nited States. Lender these circumstances, we have con-
sidered it proper upon this occasion to present to you, as the most
appropriate one to extend to the members of our National Con-
gress a welcome to our city, the President of the Board of Com-
missioners of the District of Columbia. I feel particularly grati-
fied in being able thus to present to you one whom I ha-.e had
the pleasure of knowing for many years, ihe Plon. PL B. F.
Macfarland, the President of the Board of Commissioners of the
District of Columbia, who will now address you:
HONORABLE H.B.F. MACFARLAND: Mr. President, and
members of the National Congress, I am very proud to stand
before you to-day to offer the greeting and the congratulations
of the National capital. I congratulate you upon this remarkably
large attendance ; the largest, I am told, that you have ever had.
And also upon the w-ea'ther which the Committee of Arrange-
ments has thoughtfully provided for the occasion. (Laughter.)
This, gentlemen, is our inauguration weather; not the kind
we have been, furnislihig on the 4th of March, that blustering
and stormy and dangerous, day, but the kind we expect to f.ir-
nish on the last Thursday of April, when we shall have succeeded
in amending the Constitution of the L'nited States so as to change
the day. i,.\pplau';c. i As you are all aw.Trc, the Senate has
already passed unanimously Senator Hoar's resolution. prLiir.^in^
an aniendn-.eut f^f O.-.v Crin-,titu!ion to that elfect, and it is now
bei^ng considered by tiie Tbms'e Committee on tlie Judiciary, and
the National Cominittee, composed of the Governors of forty-
five of the States and Territories, all cordially apiiroving the pro-
posed change, and of fifteen residents of the District of Columbia.
It is very hopeful that the House will concur with the Senate in
submitting to the people through their Legislatures at this .ses-
sie^n this proposed amendment of the Constitution. (Applause.)
We invoke your assistance in this undertaking; we know that
men of such iiitlueiice snd standing in your respective States will
be able to stir up the pure minds of your people by way of re-
membrance of the necessity for this change. J'hen, when you re-
turn here to the inauguration of Compatriot Roosevelt in 1905
(Applause), you will noL come at the peril of your lives, but to
enioy such v/cathcr as we see to-day; to see the capital at its
height of beauty, with the trees and the parks and the liills in
all the splendor of the spring.
Thik is the 11.3th anniversary of the inauguration of the Father
of the American Revolution as the first President of the United
Stales. It is most fitting that the Sons of the American Revolu-
tion should assemble in national congress en this day in the
national capital, in the city planned by George Washington, and
which itears his name. F'or there would have been no national
capital if George Washington had not carried through to success
the American Revolution, and the adoption of the Constitution
of the United States. Because that migT.ty spirit and the other
Revolutionary patriots, men and women, small and great, estab-
lished independence and wrought a perfect union, v.e are here
to-day, and the American flag is floating in blessing the world
around.
Here is the home of that flag, for the national capital has
never owed allegiance to any other. Here is the home of the
National genius, distinguished by the capilol and the White
House, the unparalleled monument to Washington, looking down
to his home and the tomb at Mount Vernon, and all the beauty
flowering from V\'a5hington's plan for the Federal City at its
best time of the year. Here is the home of the national govern-
ment, with all its glorious history and all its glorious promise,
and the memories of its great men, its heroes, saints and martyrs
which make Washington a greater than Westminster Abbey.
Flere is the official residence of the President of the United
States, now a Son of tlie American Revolution, exhibiting the
nol)le qualities and the patriotic principles of our revolutionary
ancestors. Here is the official residence of Congress, the greatest
legislative body on earth, now as always characterized by high
intelligence and integrity. Here is the ofticial residence of the
Chief Justice of the United States, and his associates of the
Supreme Court of the United States, the most august and power-
ful tribunal the world has ever known. The latest immigrant
coming to Washington fresh from tlie steerage must feel on
such a day as this the thrill of the significance of his surround-
ings. How much more must they stir the hearts of men with
your proud heritage of American patriotism and American glory.
You who have the blood of the men and women who founded
the Republic, and who poured out their lives that it m.ight live,
must feel an interest in tlie National Capital, a desire for its
improvement and advancement, far greater than that which even
the average ,\merican feels. If a visit to it exalts the just pride
of every American, it must raise your spirits to the point of
tears. It must move you to e.xclaim, as you tliink of all it repre-
sents :
"Oh, beautiful my country !
What were our lives without thee!
What all our lives to save thee!"
In the name of the government of the Districtof Columbia, I bid
you welcome to the National Capital, to your capital, the capital
of all the .Sons and Daughters of the .\merican Revolution, and
of all those who have found on this continent that freedom of
w^hich their ancestors had vainly dreamed, and that opportunity
which only such freedom could give. (Applause.)

PRKSIDFNT-GKNEKAL LOGAN: \Vc meet here as the
"IKS! s of the District of Columbia Society; and it givis me
"nat pleasure Jo ia'roducc to you tlie Honorable Noble D.
r.aiiur, President of liie District of Columbia Society.
HONC>RAi;iJi NOBLE D. LAKNiai: Mr. President-Gen
cral, and Compatriots of the National Congress of the Sons of
the American Revolution, it is with very great pleasure that 1
liive the honor on this occasion to extend to you on behalf
of our Society a hearty welcome to this, the most beautiful
cilv, and the capital city, of our Country. I welcome you here
to-day, not because you are the representatives of any particular
State' or Territory, but as representatives of our glorious Union
as a whole; a Union that owes its existence to the self-sacritkes
and irresistible actions of the n(>ble old patriots from w hum we
claim the privilege of calling ourselves '"Sons of the American
Revolution."
Some nine or ten years ago we had the pleasure of entertaining
our National Congress in this city. Then our local society was
small in numbers as well as in influence. Since that period the
spirit of patriotism has been largely on the increabC in our city,
and to-day we are proud to say that instead of being classed as
among the smallest of the societies we have so far advanced as
to be recognized as one of the larjje branches of liie great Tree
of Liberty. The fire is freshly burning in our midst, and we are
bold enough to express the liope that the day is not far distant
when we will be able to say to our compatriots from New Iing-
land, where the efforts of our old Patriotic Fathers fiist began,
th.at ve no longer niar':h in the rear of any other society. Tliere-
forc it behooves all of you to keep your eyes open and v.atch
well your colors.
When we extended to -you an invitation to hold the meeting
of the Congress of 1902 in this most beautiful city of the greatest,
most glorious and most prosperous country of the world, we
promised to do the best we could to make your stay among us
such that the day would never come when you should regret
that you had accepted our invitation. We have no battlefields
or other historic places of the Revolution to show you, but we
have many things far more beautiful and important to an Ameri-
can than any. battlefield can be, whose beauty is the result of the
great and self-sacrificing cftorts of our patriotic ancestors upon
historic battlefields. \\'e are proud of our National Congress,
and our great aim is to so conduct the affairs of our Society as
to insure the friendsliip and good wishes of all our compatriots,
no matter with what Society they may be connected.
We may be pardoned for saying a little in relation to the city
of Washington, and that is that it is not only the most beautiful
city of our country, but tlie most unique and extraordinary as to
its mode of government. For many years our city and the
District of Columbia was governed like all other cities in our
Union, that is, by the people, exercising the right of franchise.
This, however, has been changed. Years ago the Goverimient of
the United States, through the Congress, assumed the duty of leg-
islating for our people, thereby relieving them of all responsibility
as to cit.v and District affairs, which are now directly managed
by a Board of three Commissioners, appointed by the President
of the United States. Under these circumstances, we have con-
sidered it proper upon this occasion to present to you, as the most
appropriate one to extend to the members of our National Con-
gress a welcome to our city, the President of the Board of Com-
missioners of the District of Columbia. I feel particularly grati-
fied in being able thus to present to you one whom I have had
the pleasure of knowing for many years, the lion. H. B. F.
Macfarland, the President of the Board of Commissioners of the
District of Columbia, who will now address you :
HONORABLE H.B.F. MACFARLAND; Mr. President, and
members of the National Congress, I am very proud to stand
before you to-day to offer the greeting and the congratulations
of the National capital. I congratulate you upon this remarkably
large attendance ; the largest, I am told, that you have ever had.
And also upon the weather which the Conmiittee of .-\rrange-
ments has thoughtfully provided for the occasion. (Laughter.)
Ibis, gentlemen, is our inauguration weather; not the kind
we have been, furnishnig on the 4th of March, that blustering
and stormy and dangerous day, but the kind we expect to fur-
nish on the last Thursday of April, when we shall have succ-^eded
in amending tlie Constitution of the United States so as to change
the day. ( .-Vpplau^c. ) As you are all aw,-,re, the Senate has
already passed unanimously Senator Hoar's resolution. pr..i)Gs;u_L;
an amendment of tl:e Constitution to that etlect, and it is now
bei_ng^considered by the House Committee on the Judiciary, and
the National Committee, composed of the G"\rrnors of forty-
five of the States and Territories, all cordially aporovim.'- the pro-
posed change, and of fifteen residents of the District of Columbia.
It is very hopeful that the Hou'^e will concur with the Seiiatc in
submitting to the people through their Legislatures at this .ses-
sion this proposed amendment of the Constitution. (Applause.)
We invoke your assistance in this und'-rtaking; we know that
men of sucl; iniiuence and standing in your respective States will
be able to stir up tl;e [lure minds of your people by way of re-
membrance of the necessity for this change. 'J'hen, when you re-
turn here to the inauguration of Compatriot Roosevelt in 1905
(Applause), you will not come at the peril of your lives, btit to
enjoy such weather as we see to-day; to see the capital at its
height of beauty, with the trees and the parks and the hills in
all the splendor of the spring.
Thik is the 11.3th anniversary of the inauguration of the F.ither
of the American Revolution as the first President of the United
States. It is most fating that the Sons of the American Revolu-
tion sh'jiild assemble in national congress on this day in the
national capital, in the city planned by George Washington, and
which bears his name. For there would iiave been no national
capital if George Washington had not carried through to success
the American Revolution, and the adoption of the Constitution
of the United States. EecauGe that miglUy spirit and the other
Revolutionary patriots, men and women, small and great, estab-
lished iiidependence and wrought a perfect union, we are here
to-day, and the American flag is floating in blessing the world
around.
Here is the home of that tiag, for the national capital has
never owed allegiance to any other. Here is the home of the
National genius, distinguished by the capilol and the White
House, the unparalleled monument to Washington, looking down
to his home and the tomb at Mount Vernon, and all the beauty
flowering from Vrashington's plan for the Federal City at its
best time of the year. Here is the home of the national govern-
ment, with all its glorious history and all its glorious promise,
and the memories of its great men, its heroes, saints and martyrs
which make Washington a greater than Westminster Abbey.
Here is the otiiciai residence of the President of the United
States, now a Son of tlie American Revolution, e.xhibiting the
noble qualities and the patriotic principles of our revolutionary
ancestors. Here is the official residence of Congress, the greatest
legislative body on earth, now as always characterized by high
intelligence and integrity. Flere is the official residence of the
Chief Justice of the United States, and his associates of the
Supreme Court of the United States, the most august and power-
ful triliunal the world has ever known. The latest immigrant
coming to Washington fresh from the steerage must feel on
such a_day as this the thrill of the significance of his surround-
ings. How- much more must they stir the hearts of men with
your proud heritage of American patriotism and American glory.
You who have the blood of the men and women who founded
the Republic, and who poured out their lives that it m.ight live,
must feel an interest in the National Capital, a desire for its
improvement and advancement, far greater than that which even
the average American feels. If a visit to it exalts the just pride

tears. It must move you to exclaim, as you think of all it repre-
sents :

Congressman from Vv'cstchester and the Bronx, who is n..i\v the
Treasurer- General of our Sr-ciety. (Applause.) T( by thnt time
the parties are changed, we are sure we will ha\e some com-
patriot that will fill any bill yui may need. (Laughter.)
The army is full of our menibers. The Commanding-General
ar.d the Inspector-General — both, distingui'^hed and honored mem-
bers of our Society — have added lustre to American arms as
well as performed distinguished services to this Society. Ap-
plause.) All through the ranks you will find the inembers of
luir Society doing duty for their country in the Philippines or in
IV'tto Rico, in the Orient or the Occident, \vhere\er tlKv may be
.s<nl. The navy is equally full of Sons. The great Admiral, the
man who one Sunday morning studded old Manila Bay si.> thick
with Spanish hulks that they had to clear it for the bcnciit of
commence, is now a member of our Society. And the navy is
as full of ther.i as the army.
Both Houses of Congress are running over with members of
our Society, and many of them are sitting here as delegates to-
day. (Applause.) We are proud to welcome them. In all the
departments of the civil government of the United States which
is concentrated here in ^Va5hington, we find Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution. There are many of us at home who are keeping
our ear industriously to the telephone waiting for our eoinur3's
call (Laughter) ; and even though there be a salary attached to
the office, we still consent to serve. (Laughter.)
Mr. President and Air. Commissioner, we are yours. You can
do with us what you will. The round of gayeties and festivities
that you have prepared for us we have prepared ourselves for.
(Laughter.) Sons of the American Revolution, whether they
come from Maine or the Philippines, are men of sturdy stomachs
and strong physiques as well as of great intellectual qualifications.
During the last year our chain of Societies has been moving
around the world. A few years ago one of my distinguished pre-
decessors was sent to France on a little business for the United
States, and he sent us back in a few months the French Society
of the Sons of the American Revolution. (Applause.)
When we left Pittsburg last May, my immediate predecessor
started for the Philippines, to inspect the army there. He brings
us back to-day the Philippine Society of the Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution. (Applause.) To-day, to go from our Society
that is faithest East to the Society that is farthest West, you
don't go through the United States at all; you go the other way.
We stretch two-thirds of the way around the globe. I don't
know v.-hether we are not going to add China and complete tb.e
chain.
Mr. President and Mr. Commissioner, I repeat that we are
ready for you. If you have anything to eat, we bring you sturdy
appetites; if you have beverages that must be consurped, we bring
you a sun-dried thirst. (Laughter.) If you have fair patriots ami
moonlight walks, we are with you. (Laughter.) If you have
anything in the way of labor or of luxury, we are here to re-
ceive it.
Mr. President and Mr. Commissioner, I thank you
cordial wel..:ome and hearty greeting. (Applause.)

:>n the Conmiittce, when 1 organized the
.Society, has sini~e readied the I'liiteiJ Stales or i.- going to rc-.icli
the b'nited Slates bi;f(jre the year in out; S'3, Itav the ihirii; wiil
continue v/e canniH very \'ell tell. T^.it tlu-re were twenty-six
members, and there were a'lOut the same mnnlier outside 'vlio
[Hit tlieir names in. There is a great deal of entbubiasm of the
lype that y..)u knrnv so well, and a great dral of need f'"'r just
such principles as we represent. For ini^tance. I was invili.d to
a large entertainment r.ut there, and 1 h:ive ii'^t time to tell you
just what a fne lot of fellows I met, both white and bro\vn. But
the American Hag was tb.e table uptjii which, our ovcixoats were
laid; the Americ.ui Hag was in the place \',liere ycui v.ent to wa;h
>-our face; aiid the American flag was in tliat condition that makes
the flesh u' the .Sons of this Society creep.
There is an absijlute Lick of any knowledge whatever of a
government of institutions out there. This tlrng of being ruled
by a constitutiiMi instead of a grip behind the neck, and told to
do this and that, is a thitig th.at the Filipinos do not understand;
and if we cannot teach it to them, if the peciplc with the interest
as deep as the Sons of t!ie American Revolution have it in tliem
cannot teach it, I don't know how they are going to learn it.
1 heiefr're, I say', as a niisiicuiary society, there never ^\•as since'
the feaindation of the world a greater need of those who are rcu-
thori;:ed t'l express our seiitimenls to be on the field and ex-
press them — and that with fearlessness.
A little story that flashes through my mind may be worth
relating. I ha\e a colored cook who has been with me about
thirty years; I picked her up in old \Trginia. One day. Vj
try how a it affected the colored sister, I took her down to Cor-
coran's Gallery to see the display. She said not a word; she
walked before that collection, but never a word did she utter; an
Indian chief could not be more self restrained. But after 1 got
her home I said: "Now, Lucy, what did you think of the Cor-
coran Art Galley?'' "Well," she said, '1 don' know io much
about the art; but they young ladies looking through those
horns at thcni other thing, I thought were very courageous."
(Laughter.) Then she asked me: ''General, v.-ill you please tell
me, did the gentleman that made that art ju~t think they looked
like that, or did somebody sit for them?" "Of course they had
models," said I. "Well, if you want to know Avhat I thinks
about it, I am very glad there is none of my color among them."
(Laughter.)
Nov/ I don't know wh}' some of the gentlemen down South do
not start a Sons of the American Revolution Society down among
them, and see if you cannot get them educated up to high art.
I don't think that there is anything in that far Orient that would
interest anybody particularly that I could relate here. You might
be interested, however, to know that that country over there is
marvelously sightly. I was agreeably disappointed to see h:w
handsome it is. There is a productiveness about it, too, tliat
I fancy all Americans must be interested in knowing exist;, if
they do not already know it. For instance, in the question of
hemp in which I am somewhat interested, coming from a region in
Kentucky \vhere my hereditary farm T rented out for fifteen
dollars, a farm for raising hemp. There, in Manila, they rai?e
about tave times better hemp than we can in ibis country, of a
fibre that is exquisite in texture, and they make their garments
of it so nice a sheen that you are apt to think it is silk. Of
course it is not hemp at all, but a fibre that replaces it, and as
far as I co'ild see, should dominate the markets of the world
in hemp
The b:ickbone of that island is a range of mountains, producing
fine water power; an(:l it Ic .ks as if you were going to have a
wonderously built .-Vitem rf electrical railroads before you get
through. 'Ihe native is an interesting phenomenon to us. He
is about 5 feet 4 inches t;'li and weighs aboiA 120 pounds, anff
he has got all the kind of courage that a pirate has. I am not
telling you mucii of the S-iciety out there, for they are ail army
and navy men, and you don't care about tliem. (Cries of 'Oh,
yes we do !'')

REPORT OF SECK1':TARY-GEN'ERAL, read by Mr. A. J.
Fisher.
Your Secretary-General has the honor to report to the National
Society a year of general progress and continued prosperity
aruong nearly all State, territorial and foreign branches of the
Sons of the American Revolution, ilany of the chapters have
moved along the even tenor of their way, doing their appointed
work quietly, participating in many forms of patriotic etTort, and
have added a normal and healthy increase to their membership
rolls. Others have taken a new and more vigorous impetus,
enlarging the scope of their labors and making great and unusual
gains in membership and in awakening and strengthening local
interest in affairs appertaining to our organization. In a few-
instances States show gains in membership of fifty to si.xty per
cent. A few others show slight net losses consequent upon the
dropping of all delinquents from their rolls. As a whole the
year past has been a satisfactory one and by no means uneventful.
The meeting of the General Board of r^Ianagers, which was
railed to meet at Saratoga, N. Y., on September 19, 1901, was
posiponed on account of the death of Compatriot President Will-
iam McKinley to meet at the office of President-General Logan,
HI New York City, on October 14. A large delegation of the
National Society participated in tlie obsec^uies of the lamented
President held in Washington.
I'he chief business before the postponea meeting of the Gen-
eral Board of ^Managers, held on October 14, was the selection of
the place for the holding of the present Congress, invitations
from many State Societies from Connecticut to California and
fr.jm Minnesota to Lousiana having been received. A resolution
was also adopted endorsing the report of the National Publication
Cummittee with reference to the printing of a National Register
'>t" all the members of our organization, and calling on the State
Societies to urge their membership to make individual subscrip-
ti'iiis for the work and otherwise assist in its distribution.
•.'lie of the principal matters of progress which can be recorded
by our organization. for work accomplished in the year that has
piissed is a work which has-been carried on abroad as a result of
'he personal sacrifice and effort of a few members in order to
est.iblish in France branches of the Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution, for which purpose it was neces'snry to
know the names and services of the French officers and men of
'le land army and navy who fought for American independence.
Upon the initiaiive ui Mr. Paul Wcntworth Linebargcr, the
^'ati(lnal Society of the Sons of the .\mericnn Revolution there-
"■re made, last year, an inquiry at the War Department in Wash-
ii"-;ton. The result was the ascertaining that there did not e.xist
■^'ly rt-oirdi of tho^-e French cnnibatants, with the exception of
•' -niall h^t of ofticers in Heitman's Hist'-rical Register. The
M'nustry of War expressed the desire to ulnain such records;
I^UTeupon the National Society of the Sons of the .Vmericati
Ivevokition requested Mr. H. .Merou, Consul of France in Chi-
^"•'go, and honorary member of the Illinois Society, Sons of the
ti
.'\merican Revolutirin, who was interested in the moveui'jtit from
the beginning, to address his government on that subjecl.
During a vacation of six monihs, lieginning with July i, lyoo,
Mr, Morou did what he had been requested to undertake. He
obtained the establishment of a Franco-An\erican Commiilee of
K'csearch, appointed by His Excellency, M. Delcasse, ITctich
Min.ister for h'oreign Affairs, on the proposition ndvaiu-id by
United States Ambassador Gen. Horace Porter. 11< iTiainid
also tvvo secretaries from the Ministry of War .•uul two from
the Ministi-y of tlic Navy of France, for the work of coiupdmg
and copying the records in the French archives.
Ifaving been api.iointed Chaiinian of said Conmiiitee, with
Mr. Edward P. .McLean, United States Vice-Consul in I'aris, as
its Vice-Chairman, and with Col. Chaillc-Long and Major HuiU-
ingtc^n as members, Mr. Merou devoted the time of his vnc.ition
to the v>-ork; the first three months to orgaiiiziiig and to obtain-
ing th'j necessary official help; the last three months to the work
itself, which he prosecuted in the archives of the iVIinisiry of
War. After his return to the United States, in January l.isi, the
work was continued on the lines established by him under the
supervision of Col. Chaille-Long and M. Lacoar-Gayet, the latter
Professor of Plistory at the Ecolc Superieure de Ja Marine, nt
Paris, in the archives of the navy; and in the archives of the
War Department by an intelligent secretary, assisted by the ad-
ministration of the war archives. Mr. Merou presented, on the
15th day of December, igoo, his olTicial report to the Minister for
I'oreign Affairs. '1 he work in the archives of the War Dep.irt-
ment, with reference to the land army, was finished in April
last; and the work in the archives of the navy in August last.
About 6,000 to 7,000 officers and soldiers of the land army and
more than 50,000 ollicers and men of the navy have thus been
found, with Christian and family names, with dates and places
of birth, and with observations proving their participation in the
War for American Independence.
On behalf of Consul Merou, your Secretary-General submitted
this matter to the members of the National Sons of the American
Revolution Executive Committee to take such action as they
might deem appropriate in encouraging and assisting in the great
work so satisfactorily prosecuted by Mr. Merou, and so gener-
ou'^ly and effectively co-operated in by the various departments
of the French Goveriim.ent. The Secretary-General's report of
the matter to the Executive Committee stated that Consul Merou
had requested his government to publish this important work at
the State's expense; but that being now far from France, and
being unable to take any personal steps in Paris toward the de-
sired fulfillment, as soon as possible, of the publication of the
now completed work, he would be thankful if the National So-
ciety of the Sons of the American Revolution would take the mat-
ter in hand in the requesting of the United States Ambassador,
General Horace Porter, to do wliat he may deem appropriate in
order that the proposed publication be not cfelayed. The re-
port set forth that such a French publication would be extremely
useful in France in ascertaining the descendants of the fighters;
and that if, afterward, a translation into English could be made
and published by the Government of the United States, universi-
ties, students and investigators in this country might be greatly
profited thereby, as well as the National Society of the Sons
of the American Revolution.
x-Vfter having received this report, the National Executive Com-
mittee took the following action:
WHEREAS, the report m.ide through Secretary-General Gross
by Mr. Henri IVIerou, I'Tencli Consul in Chicago, honorary mem-
ber of the Illinois Society S. A. R., and General Horace Porter,
Ex-President of the National Society of the Sons of th.e Ameri-
can Revolution and Ambassador of the United States to the
Government of France, sh.ows that an exceedingly advantageous
and effective work has been accomplished by their conjoint eilorts,
assisted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and of War and
Marine in France, in ascertaining the names and services of 50.-
000 French sailors and over 7,000 French soldiers, who assisted
the colonists in the War of the American Revolution ; there-
fore be it
RESOLVED, That the National Executive Committee of the
Society of the Sons of the Americari Revolution hereby tenders
its appreciative congratulations and warm thanks to the gentle-
men mentioned for their untiring efTorts in the direction stated,
and likewise to the French Ministers of Foreign Affairs, of War
and Marine, in so ably seconding their ettorts in aiding tiiem to
secure the information desired; and be-it further
RESOLVED, That this body requests Ambassador Genera!
Horace Porter to use what influence he may, which shall not be
inconsistent with the duties of his diph-n.^itic olfice. to secure
the printing, on the part of the French Government, of the com-

ing and i)ubliihing an IhiLdish version oi these lists for use in

work placed in the leading libraries of thi-; c^iiimry, and acces-ible
to all si-ekint; Ivcvohuionary descent, would be of incalculable
value to the building up of our org ini7ation.
Another great advance which our organi;:;aion has made in the
foreign field has been the organi;-atii n of a nourishing chapter of
the Society in the Philippine Islands, which result is attributable
chiefly to the earnest effort in thi;. behalf of uur filx- ''re^ident-
General, General J. C. F-reckinridge. tjklahonia h.A-, also been
added to tb.e list of St:;te and territorial societies, pro\'iding their
list of charter nietiibers passes the scrutiny of our Registrar-
General and the Society is accorded a charter. Of these two new
accpiisitions, you will doubtless learn more fully from the report
of th.e Registrar-General,
As a comparatively small number only of the Stale societies
have sent in their annual reports, and as many of tli.jse which
have been sent in are soine\vhat voluminous, it has seemed wise
to omit the customary summary of these State reports trom this
Aniuial Report, and to let them appear in the animal year btiok
for the year, when all shall have been received, under a separate
heading of State Society reports.
Save for the ii reparable loss of its honored compatriot. Presi-
dent William McKinlej^ the National Society, Sons of the .\meri-
can Revolution, has had occasion to mourn the loss of a much
smaller, proportiem of representative members than for a number
of years past. A committee was appointed by President-Genera!
Logan to draft resolutions in respect to the death of President
McKinley. This c<jmmittee consists of Judge Whitehead, Ju<ige
Hancock, Mr. Charles W. Haskins and General Francis
Appleton.
A commuuicaiieai received by your President-General from the
Pennsylvania Society announces that that State Society proposes
to erect an eqiiestrian statue of Major-General Anthony Wayne,
for which purpiose they already have a fund of over So.OiX), and
they respectfully invite tlie assistance of national organization
for the accomplishment of this object.
An amendment has been proposed to tiie National Constitition
this year by the Pennsylvania Society, cc'pies C'f which have been
duly forwarded to the various State societies, in accordance with
Article VIII. of the Constitution. The piope>sed aniendments
will come up for action thereon in the iJue course of these pro-
ceedings.
Once more your Secretary-General extends his thanks to the
e.Kecutive ofTicers of the National Society, as well as to ail State
ofHceis, for their aid and co-operation in the prosecuiicn of mat-
ters coming within the scope of the office with which you hon-
ored him.
Very respectfullv submitted.

on bebrnary 22d of this year, which were largely .'attended and
greatly enjoyed. The addresses will be publislud.
'1 o i-romote closer sticial intercourse among the members, it has
been <leeid,ed to hold frequent meetings of an informal character
to discuss seme notable event or personage (d the Revolution.
The life character and exploits of the naval hero, John Paul
Ji'i!e'=, v.a.i the snbjeet of a proper read at a meeting held Novem-
!>er ..'5, loor, when some 50 of the members participated in the
discussion that followed,
Aiioiiv-T meeting of a similar character has licen appointed for
April 10, 1002, when a paper will be read and discussed upon
the life and character of Capt. I'aiker, one of the heroes of Fex-
iiigton.
An asS'.jcialion called the American Rille Club, tomposed solely
of members of the S. A. K , has been organized as an adjunct
of this Society, and has had its first annual shoot, at which a
b-adge of the Society constituted the pri/:e. It will be conducted
on purely American lines, and particularly encourage the use of
Govennncnt arms and ammunition.
The reception to President McKinley by this Society during his
visit last year marked an event in our annals tliat may peib.ap.s
never be equaled in imp'oriancc. His feeling words and kindly
presence endeared him to all, and his untimely death, only a few-
weeks later, by the hands of a vile assassin, evoked resolutions
expressive of Iiorror at the act and sympathy for the bereaved
family and nation.
riio California Society more than a year ago undertook for th.e
first time in its history the publication of a Register, similar in
character to those of otlier State Societies. The enterprise was
fully commenced before the project of a National Register took
definite fi.irm ; hence it was found impossible to give the support
to that publication as would have been given otherwise. Eig'u
copies have been subscribed for to distribute among the libraries.
Edwin Bonn ell,
Secretary.
CoL0K.\DO. — The past year has been a most prosperous one for
the Colorado Society, Sons of the American Revolution.
The first meeting of the year was held August sjid,
when an informal reception at the Albany Hotel was tendcied
President-General Vv'alter S. Logan, wlio was in Denver at the
meeting of the American Bar Association. The membeis of the
Society greatly enjoyed the words of greeting and encouragement
which ^Ir. Logan gave. He was presented with a valuable album
of Colorado views as a souvenir of his visit to th.e State.
The regular September meeting was adjourned out of respect
to tile memory of our beloved compatriot, the late President Mc-
Kinley. The Society joined in the memorial parade and exercises.
This was the first public appearance of the Society, and it has
received many words of commendation for the splendid showing
made under the command of Col. A. W. Corliss.
llie regular monthly meetings began in October and continued
until March. These consisted of papers and addresses upon the
part taken by the several original States in the Vv'ar of the
Rt\olution, and were exceedingly interesting and instructive.
Much credit is due ilr. Chauncey Curtis, Chairman, and the
otb.er members of the entertainment committee for the excellent
programmes presented.
The growth of the Society has been very gratifying and we
may confidently look forward to another year of prosperity.
H.\R0LD C. Stephens,
Secretary.
CoNNECTiCL'T. — The most important work accomplished by this
Society is the removal and restoration of the Nathan Flale
School-house, at New London, Conn., which was completed on
the 17th of June, 1901, with appropriate ceremonies, including
a street parade, in which the Putnam Phalanx, a naval corps, and
three companies of the Connecticut National Guard, joined with
members of the Society and guests. The literary exercises in-
cluded an oration by the President-General and a historical ad-
dress by F'rofessor Henry P. Johnston, of the College of the City
of New \ork. The amount of money involved in the entire un-
deriaking of purchasing, restoring and dedicating this historic
budding IS over $<j,ooo, of which about $4,500 was contributed by
members of the Society or taken from the Society's funds.

the interest manifested gave much encouragement for the- future.
The Florida Society has subscribed for one copy of the Na-
tional Register for each of its members and one for each library
m the State, believing this to be one of the best ways of creating
an interest in the Society and of calling attention to its objects,
also aiding many in obtaining proof of eligibility.
Wc hope to have a full representation at the National Congress
in Washington. W. O. H. Shep.\kd.
Secretary.
Fr.j,nce. — The only event of special interest in connection with
Our Society during the past year was the very impressive cere-
mony presided over by General Horace Porter at the tomb of
Patayette, in the Cemetery of Picpus, at Paris, on Decoration
i'-iy, May 30, 1901. In the last annual report mention was made
of the searches in th.e French National Archives to establish the
li^ts of names of the French soldiers and sa'lors who assisted in
'he War of American Independence. This ditTicult work under-
taken by a committee of our Society has nov,- been accomplished.
1 he bsts are completed, -and it may be of interest for the National
t-'-'Ugress of the Society 'to "knuw that the publication 01 these

in Iowa, and tli:y aie prciiK-tL rs of prosperity wherever the
members are active and earnest. Beii Franklin Chapter of Dcs
Moines is the most active, as well as the 1 r^- st. It has a mem-
bership of forty compatriots and meetin„i have been held in
October, NoycmI)er, December, January and March, at which
papers of much merit and more than passing interest were read
upon such topics as "' 1 he Surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown,"
"The Campaign for the Conquest of Canada," "Valley Forge,"
"Battle of Cowpens," "Jesuit Explorations and Discovery of
Iowa." The compatriots are urged to bring ladies, and they
come gladly. By giving these meetings at the houses of com--
patriots a social character, their popularity and success are as-
sured and "eligibles" are interested.
A bi-monthly bulletin has been started by the Secretary, called
"The Old Contincf.tal," of which four issues have been circulated.
The expense has thus far been borne by the Society. . News items
having relation to the Society in general and the Iowa Society and
its compatriots ia particular have been published in each issue,
with the Revolutionary Records of each ancestor referred to in tiie
nev,- applications, with selections totiching upon Revolutionary
topics. "The Old Continental" is believed to have demonstrated
its usefulness.
The preparations for the annual meeting and banquet, to have
been held February 21st, were practically complete when the ac-
tion of the Board of Health in reference to small pox rendered it
necessary to postpone the meeting, and the date for the same was
fixed for April 17th, that date being substituted for April 19th,
or Lexington Day, for the convenience of the compatriots from
distant points.
The efforts of the D. A. R. to secure from the Legislature of
Iowa an appropriation to buy ground hallowed by the ashes of a
Revolutionary soldier, and to erect a moiuiment over his un-
marked grave, have been seconded by this Society, and the appro-
priation has been secured.
The Iowa Society fervently cherishes our motto of "Libertas
et patria," and cominends it to all compatriots.

Kentucky. — No meeting was held from stated meeting in 1900
to stated meeting in 1901. I enclose list of oiTicers elected at that
meeting. For first time in several years, the Treasurer's report
showed a nice cash balance.
December 26, 1901, the Society met to commemorate Battle of
Trenton. After an enjoy.able evening an. amendment to By-Laws
was offered to lay over that in lieu of one meeting annually. The
Society met 17th January — Cowpens; loth April — Lexington and
Concord; t7th June — Bunker Hill, and 19th October — Yorktown.
A motion prevailed that we observe these days until Octe.ber.
when By-Laws can be acted upon. Also to change By-Laws of
Society to vote on petition in lieu of contmittee. Secret ballot.
The Society met January 17. .-V petition coming with meeting'.
Proved a very pleasant occa>ion and created interest. Met again
igth April. Two petitions, and find interest growing, and believe
will have largest attendance of delegates at Washington tl;e
Society has as yet sent. - Phil T. Allin,
Secretary.

The adoption of a "work" in harmony with the national ^^pirit
of (lur National Society, and most congenial to the ta-te and
feehn^s of our fellow members, the marking of the gra\e of a
Revolutionary soldier \\li';> we heard was buried in the old St.
Louis Ccnieti. ry, and long since, like the majority of the graves
(jf our Revolutionary soldiers, abandoned and left uncared for.
A ccimniittee has been a{>iu)inled to look after this ca_^e, and that
of three graves of cx-.soldiers of the War of 1812 v.duch also
rcm.iins neglected and alnmsl unknown.
In this latter case we intend to take the matter up with De-
partment at Washington, and reque.'t permission {>_) reiii'ive the
remains of these brave men to the beautiful burying place of
e\-U. S. soldiers — Chahnette.
I'inally we ha\c also resdvtd to do a little mi>sii m,'ir\ work
for the upbuilding of the N.itinnal Society and its increa-e of
inembei^iip, and that is: the Louisiana Society has voted heartily
to second the efforts of one of its most intluential and di-lin-
guished menibers — Judge McCaleb, delegate at large to Xational
Congress — to inflnence his large circle of acquaintances m the
Siate of Mississi()pi to come in and join us, and that after we
h.'ive secured a sufficient number of eligihles from that St.ate we
will take further steps to organize a ^Mississippi Society.
We have been looking over the outlcmk for Alabama aNo, and
hope by the next Congress lo send on a favorable report of
the reward rif our patriotic efforts. Mississippi and .Alabama
should both have a State Society, and as they are sister States
it won't be the fault of the Louisiana Society if ihey are not
represented in the National Congress of 1903.
Wishing the present Congress every success and all the pleas-
ure that has been promised the delegates, I remain,

Maine. — The Maine Society has had a prosperous year. Our
present membership is 355. During the year our Historian, Mr.
Nathati Goold, has ' been requested to prepare a list of the
Revolutionary soldiers buried in Maine, with such facts concern-
ing the place of burial, inscription on to.mbstone, etc., as it is
possible now to obtain. Already he has quite a large li-^t. When
he has made it as complete as it can be m.ade, it will be pub-
lished by the Society. The Society, at its annual meeting, Feb.
22, 19OJ, voted to publish a new roll of members during the pres-
ent year. The last roll was published in 1S97. Since then more
than one hundred names have been added. The annual meeting
was held in the Casino at Riverton Park, Portland. The after-
dinner speakers were the President, Col. Horace H. Burbank. of
Saco; Hon. Frederic E. Boothby, Mayor of Portland: Fion.
Charles F. Libby, Portland, and Rev. Dr. Francis B. Denis, of
Bangor. It was an exceedingly delightful occasion.
H. S. BURS.VGE,
Secretary.
Mass.\chusetts. — W^e report a slightly increased membership
— the total being 1,421, of which 21 are really sons of soldiers
who did actu.d service in the Revolution. The youngest among
these vctrans is 63 years of ago; the oldest, Mr. Roby Fletcher, c>f
Fitchburg, is gy.
The Society has thirteen chapters in the larger cities of the
State — local organizations, strictly of members of State Society,
which have had an important intluence in strengthening the or-
ganization and in arousing patrioii.>m.
Besides the annual meeting on the 19th of April, heM in the
historic old S'.uth Meeting llouse and followed by a banquet, the
Society has held a field day on the Lexington Battle Grounds, on
the anniversary of Cornwallis's surrender, and .'ib>o celebrated
the birthday of Washington at the Hotel S'eiidome. .-\t all of
these gatherings patriotic remarks were made' by distingui -bed
speakers.
T'iie Society has during the year published a Ye-ar Book of
about 300 pages, together with a volume containing the names
and burial places of about 4,500 soldiers in the Revolution.
These are in the State and elsewhere, all designated by the au-
thoi'ized motto of the National Society placed there by the vi'ii-
of cities and towns or by individu;il contributors.
'I he Society is about to place :; granite boulder, with a bnm/e

The Society not only gave to e:u'h member a copy of it- l.Lt
Year Book, but has distributed its 'i'ear I'ooks of i8(>j and looi
freely among the other State societies, to the 350 city and I'i-.vn
libraries of the State and lo many other libraries and hi-.tnrie.d
societies throughout the country.
During the year the Society, at the urgent reque-.t of certain
of its ch.ipters, gave a rebate of part of the annual dues lo mem-
bers of the parent body who were in gcAjd standing. The .Slate
Society desired in this way to give inrouragement to the ch.apter
in oriK r to induce them to put forth fresh exertieiiis for the
spread of our principles.
The Board of Managers li.ave held all meetings at its head-
quarters, and is constantly alert to adsance the inleiesi ul the
body. Francis FL Hkow.n-,

Mie'HK.AN. — The ?\Tichigan Sijciety contiinies steadily to in-
crease in numbers, twenty-six new members having been added
to the roster during the year. The Western Michigan Chapter,
with headquarters at Grand Rapids, is in a flourishing condition,
and assurances are given that the membership of both the Slate
Scjciety and the Ch-aptcr will be considerably augmented as a
consequence of the interest taken in that part of the State through
the exertion of tiie oiTicers and individuals of the Chapter.
The most important event of the year for the Society was the
unveiling of a handsome bronze tal.det to the memory of General
.Anthony Wayne, U. S. A., on the afternoon of October 19th, ihc
one hundred and twentieth anniversary of the Surrender of York-
town. This tablet, bearing in bas relief the portrait of the Gen-
eral, was unveiled with impressive ceremony. A lineal descend-
ant, little Miss Evelyn Warren, pulling aside the flag and ex-
posing the very handsome art work, which fittingly and conspicu-
ously decorates the south pylon of the portico, at the main en-
trance to the niagnificent new Wayne County Building in the
City of Deroit. The tablet bears tlie following inscription:
"This tablet is erected as a tribute to Major-General
Anthony Wayne, U. S. A., to whom the British' surrend-
ered this region July Eleventh, Seventeen Hundred and
Ninety-six, and in whose honor Wayne County was cre-
ated and named, August Fifteenth, Seventeen Hundred
and Ninety-six. This county, as then esiabiished, em-
braced nearly all of the present State of Michigan and
portions of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, in-
cluding the sites of Chicago and Milwaukee and parts of
Fort \Vayne and Cleveland."
Appropriate speeches by Compatriot Hon. John B. Corliss,
Member of Congress, and Hon. R. E. FTazer, one of the Cir-
cuit Court Judges for Wayne County, concluded the ceremonies,
after which the Society entertained a large number of distin-
guished guests at an informal luncheon at the Russell House.
The annual banquet was held in the Russell House on Wash-
ington's Birthday, and the Society was exceedingly fortunate in
having for ihiir guest Lieut. -Commander F. W. Bartlett, U. S.
Navy, a Detroit boy, a graduate of the Naval Academy, and who,
during the war with Spain, rendered conspicuous service on the
dynamite cruiser "Vesuvius." Henry S. Sibley,
Seeretary.
Montana. — The past year has been without much of especial
interest to report. Three new members have joined the Montana
State Society and others have commenced correspondence which
we hope will result in their becoming active members before llie
season is over.
The annual meeting of the Society was held on February J2d,
at which meeting new officers were elected and delegates were
chosen for the National Congress.
.\ social session was also held on this date, and the entire city
membership of the Society was present. Toasts were read and
delivered suitable lo the day which we have chr.soi to hold our
annual meeling. A grandson of i Revoluticirnrj soldier v\as

During the past year five regular meetings of the Society have
been held. On February 26th last the annual election of oflicers
took place at the annual meeting and was followed by a collation.
At the ALarch meeting action was taken and a committee of
five appointed to consider the advisability of having a series of
lectures on patriotic subjects during the Exposition at Buffalo,
and the stmi of $250 ai'propriated for the furtherance of the
same. After due consideration in regard to the same, the Chair-
man of the committee decided that the plan was not feasible and
the matter was dropped. Mr. Spedon entertained the members
present at this meeting by drawing sketches and accompanying
his work with remarks of a humorous character.
At the meeting in May, upon the invitation of our President,
Walter S. Logan, the members and their ladies met at the Marine
and Field Club, Bath Beach, Long Islan,d, on the afternoon and
evening of the 21st. After dinner the party were addressed by
President Logan, after which Compatriot Rev. Jesse L. Hurlbut
was presented with an insignia of the Society, the presentation
address being delivered by Compatriot Edward Payson Cone.
The Society was then entertained by recitations of a mirthful
nature and addresses which were interesting and instructive as
well as patriotic.
On ALay sSth last the Society lost by death one of its most
esteemed compatriots, General Thomas Wilson, whose loss is
much regretted. A committee was appointed, of which Com-
patriot Stephen M. Wright was Chairman, who prepared a set
of resolutions on the death of General Wilson. The same was
adopted by the board, handsomely engrossed and bound, and for-
warded to the family.
The meeting of the Society which was to be held at Saratoga
on September lyth last was postponed, as we were called upon
to mourn the loss df another of our compatriots on September
14th, that of William McKinley, President of the L'nited States.
A special mei-ti.ig of the board was called and resolutions adopt-
ed; the Chair appointing Compatriots Walter S. Logan, Hon.

H. Cornish and Charles B. Provost to attend the funeral. The
meeting was addressed, by. Mr. Farnham, of the Saratoga Busi-
ness Men's Association, who was most cordial in his invitatiosi
to have another meeting appointed, to be held at Saratoga, This
matter was left in the hands of the Entertainment Committee.
The October meeting was held at Grant City, Staten Island,
N. v.. where a game dinner was enjoyed by the members pres- '
ent. At this meeting $500 was appropriated by the Society toveard
the e.xpenscs which would be incurred at the Fort Washington
celebration. On November 16, 1901, the Empire State Society.
S. A. R., in co-operation with the American Scenic and Historic
Preservation Society, erected a tablet on the site of Fort W:^sli-
iugton, on the property of James Gordi^n Hennet, through whose
generosity the cost of the memorial was defrayed. The erection
of this memorial and the exercises during the entire day were a
complete success, and did more toward making the .Society known

Ohio. — The Ohio Society has had a very quiet but prosperous
year. The membersiiip has been materially increased. We have
lost by death twelve members and by transferring to other so-
cieties six. A large number of graves of Revolution soldiers
have been located and steps taken to have monuments placed
over them. The annual meeting was well attended, and the ban-
quet held in the evening was n most enjoyable affair. Much
interest is being taken in the w<.irking of our Society, and the
membership promises this year to be very large.

Pen'n.svlvania. — The Pennsylvania Society reports a year of
most gratifying progress and success.
During the year, from February 22, irjoi, to February 22, 1902,
112 new members were added to the Society.
The total active membership at tb.c end of the year was 354.
The great and distinguished event of the year for our Society
was the meeting of the National Congress at Pittsburg. The
pleasure afforded to us by that opportunity of entertaining our
compatriots from the length and breadtn of the land lingers with
us. and will long linger in most delightful memories of the occa-
sion. Not only so, but the presence of the Congress in our
midst furnished a stimulus to our interest in the \\ork and ob-
jects of the Society, which has bccTi ni.^^t b:nt.fi:lal, and th:
effects of which will not be lost until our turn to entertain the
Congress comes round again.
Our members have been more actively interested in public
patriotic work than ever heretofore. We took part, together with
the Grand Arm.y of Republic and other patriotic societies, in pub-
lic celebrations of Memorial Day and Flag Day. .A systematic
effort has been begun to identify and mark graves of Revolution-
ary soldiers within our jurisdiction. We have aUo engaged in
several enterprises of a local character, \vh;ch have not yet borne
their fruits, but which we hope to report as successfully accom-
plished in the future. Thomas Stephen Bi?own,
Secretary.

Penn'Svlvania. — The Pennsylvania Society reports a year of
most gratifying progress and success.
During the year, from February 22, 1901, to February 22, 1902,
112 new members were added to the Society.
The total active membership at the end of the year was 354.
The great and distinguished event of the year for our Society
was the meeting of the National Congress at Pittsburg. The
pleasure affordeii to us by thai opportunity of entertaining our
compatriots from the length and brcadtii of the land lingers with
us, and will long linger in most delightful memories of the occa-
sion. Not only so, but the presence of the Congress in our
midst furnished a stimulus to our interest in the w<Trk and ob-
jects of the Society, which has been m.:ist b;ntfi;ial, and th:
eftects of which will not be lost until our turn to entertain the
Congress comes round again.
Our members have been more actively interested in public
patriotic work than ever heretofore. We took part, together with
the Grand Army of Republic and other patriotic societies, in pub-
lic celebrations of Memorial Day and Flag Day. A systematic
effort has been begun to identify and mark graves of Revolution-
ary soldiers within our jurisdiction. W"e have also engaged in
several enterprises of a local character, which have not yet borne
their fruits, but which we hope to report as successfully accom-
plished in the future. Thomas Stephen Brown,
Secretary.

Texas. — This Sijciety has experienced so much difhculty and so
many obstacles with.in the last year, as also in former ones, in
increasing its membiership, owing to the troul.ile, and in some
cases impossibility of obtaining satisfactory rece'>rd of service
during the Revolutionary War, that its numbers are very slightly
increased ; being at present thirty-five. It is b>elieved, liowever,
that with the publication of the National Register many past difS-
culties of the nature specified will be removed. But it is here
urged that the Register will not answer for all, and that in cases
where applicants depend upon the records of Virginia, for in-
stance, to show service in the colonial troops from that State, it
is often found that, owing to the destruction of most of these
records, many who are eligible to membeiship in this Society are
excluded therefrom. And it is therefore urged ttiat other than
record-evidence of service should be accepted when it is made
to appear that no records of such service exist but satisfactory
evidence of another kind can be obtained.
But if the Texas Society is small in numbers, it is enthusiastic.
At the annual meeting of this Society held at Galveston, Feb.
22, 1902 (the hrst in. two years; for owing to the storm of
Sept. 8, 1900, at Galveston, where most of the members of the
Society are gathered, no meeting was held in 1901), the attend-
ance was very gratifying, and encourased all present to advocate
from now on the organization of chapters of the S. A. R. in
various localities of the State. This will, it is believed, stimulate
a keener interest in the objects of the Society and be produc-
tive of closer relation among the members, and an increase of
importance in the membership throughout the State.
Appropriate resolutions upon the death of Col. John William
French, U. S. A., and Lucian Miner, of Galveston, were pre-
sented at the annual m.eeting and entered upon the minutes of
the Society. Both of these members were a. great loss, and it
was accentuated by the furtlier loss, through reme.val from the
State, of H. P.. McGavock and Chas. Walter Pr^ ^ton, both of
Galveston. The Sc'ciety of this State lost these members within
the last two years.
The address of the President of the Society at the annual meet-
ing reflected the work of the Xationrd and State societies, and
was particularly interesting hy reason of its discussion of the
benefits which are likely to accrue to all State societies from the
publication of the Xatiejtial Register.
The annual election of otnccrs of the Society resulted as fol-
lows: President, lion. Ira H. Evans, of Austin; First Vice-
President, William F. Beers, of Galveston; Second Vice-Presi-
dent, W. H. Young, of Palestine; Treasurer, Edward R. Girar-
deau, of Galveston; Resiistrar and Historian, J. T. HufFmaster, of
Galveston. Secretary. Cl.iy S. Briggs. Together with the otF.cers
already named, Robert G. West and William G. Boil, both of
Austin, Newell Kane, of Palestine, and E. D. Dorchester, of
Velasco, were elected to serve on the State Board of Manage-
ment

\'i:kMO.N'T. — The Vermont Society h.is snt'fered a gre.il loss
sinei- the meeting of the Nation.ai Cf n_;ress Last yi.ar by the
de;iih of General Julius Jacob Estey, our lionorccl I're-ideiu and
eomiiatriot. He was a pioneer in the organization of the Society
of the Sons of the American Revolution in Vermont, and from
the first was an active and influential member. He filled most
accejitably the various offices to wdiich he was elected, and as a
member of the Board of Managers, Vice-Pre.sidcnt and President
of the Society and a delegate to the National Congress four years
materially advanced tiie interests of the S. A. R.
General Estey was ckcted President of the Vermont Society
at the annual meeting in November, 19CX), and re-elected in 1901.
L'uring the sixteen months of his administration the Society en-
joyed a new lease of life, and experienced a marked degree of
pre'Sperity, and some twenty representative descendants of Revo-
lutionary ancestors were added to the register of the Society.
C)ne of the last acts on the day before he was called from earth
was t(.) airi.K his signature to a dor'en certificates of menibershiip
received from the National Registrar.
General Estey rendered valuable service to the Society, as well
as to the State, in inaugurating and successfully executing a plan
for locating the graves of soldiers of the American Revolution
buried in Vermont. Fie secured one or more persons in each
town and city to assist in the work, and as a result nearh- three
hundred graves have been located and the names secured of this
number of heroic dead of the American Revolution who rest
beneath the soil of the Green iMountain. State.
The Society will carry out the plan of the late President and
cause the graves to be marked with appropriate tablets and the
names of the honored dead to be published for the use o;' the
Society and the people of Vermont.
The Vermont Society has taken much interest in the publica-
tion of the National Register. General E=tey heartily favored
the proposition from the first, and advocated the resolution which
was unanimously passed by the Society at its last annual meeting
providing for the purchase by the Society of a sufticienc number of
copies of the new National Register to supply each public library
in Vermont, and also the libraries of schools and colleges with a
ce>py. The number required for this purp.ase vvill be a little less
than one hvindred copies. In addition to this order placed by the
Society, individual members have ordered copies.
The vacancy in the office of President caused by the death of
General Estey will be filled until the ne.xt annual meeting by the
'Vice-President, Hon. Fletcher D. Proctor, as acting President.
The Board of Managers have passed memorial resolutions upon
the death of its late President, which are given below :
Resolutions on the Ijeath of Julius Jacob Estev.
WHEREAS it has pleased Divine I'rovidence to remove from
us Juliu.-) Jacob Estey, President of the \'crmont Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution ; and
WHEREAS It is tilting that a recognition of his life and use-
fulness and his many virtues should be made by those who had the
privilege of coming within the bright sphere of his manly and
helpful influence; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Board of Managers of the Vermont
Society of the Sons of the American Revolution express their
sincere sorrow and sense of loss in the detith of General E=tey.
Fie was one of the first members of our Society and was devcted
to all its interests.
As President of the Vermont Society he won our increasing
admiration and sustained our highest regard. We hold him in
affectionate remembrance for his Christian character, his integ-
grity. his patriotism, his genial personality, his wide influence and
his intelligent and devoted loyalty to this organization. It is
with most unusual sorrow that we bring ourselves to thii.k of his
departure from us, and we cannot too strongly express our
estimate of the loss sustained by our organization.
We extend to his family our sincercst sympathy, and count
our;e!vcs among those who mourn beside his grave. .As the
world is poorer for his death, so it is permanently richer by
rea=on of his hfe. Charles S. Fokbes.
Secretary.

REPORT OF THE FRENCH SOCIE'lY, read by Mr
Chaillc-Long.
Mr. President-General and Comprarieits : I have the distin-
guished honor of presentjng you my credentials as a delegate
from the Society in France, S. .\. R-, of which the United States
Ambassador to France is the President and Ciaston de Lahune de
Lafayette is the Vice-President.
It will be recalled that this branch of the Natii.nal Society was
founded in Paris oti the i6th of September, 1&7, the original
date of annual meeting having been tl.Ked for the 6th of Septem-
ber to coiTimcmorate the birth day of Lafayette.
The action of our Society was limited for a time to serving as
the intermediary of the societies in America, and among these
Lafayette Post of the Grand Army of the Republic, which sends
each Decoration Day wreaths to lay upon the gra\ e of General
Marquis de Lafayette. Lafayette, it will interest you to recall,
was buried in a remote spot of Paris in the cemetery of the quaint
little convent of Picpus, which takes its name from the follow-
ing composition, piqucr, to bite and puce fl'-as; flea-bites, an epi-
demic which afflicted the people in the vicinity about 1797, or
thereabouts. Victor Hugo, the author of "Les Miserables," ha;
placed in this cemetery one of his most touching episodes. This
singular, solitary, desolate spot is known as Cuncturc au Guillo-
tines, and contains more than 1,300 victims, whose epitaphs bear
the such- distinguished names of Gamache, Sombreuil, P.ohan,
Chabot, Grammont, Beauharnais. Pascher da la Pagerie et al,
who fell under the blade of the guillotine, set up in the ancient
barricrc du Tronc.
The horizon of our Society in France has been greatly extended
within the space of one and a half years with the view of multi-
plying friendly relations and intercourse with France — create a
reciprocal movement in France and America in all departments
of education, literature, art, politics and commerce. A committee
was appointed by our President to prepare lists of all French
officers, stildiers and sailors who took part in the war for Ameri-
can independence. The committee appointed by Gen. Por-
ter consisted of M. Merou, Consul of France: Mr. MacLean.
Deputy Consul-General United States at Paris; Major Hunting-
ton and myself. In the month of October, I'joo, through the
active sympathy and courtesy of AL Delcasse, the Minister of
Foreign Affairs of the Republic of France, and his colleagues, the
Ministers of War, Marine and Public Instruction, the committee
proceeded to work, and were given access to the archives of the
war and marine, which in this case were located in the Archives
Xationales in the Franc Bourgeois. Two attaches of the War De-
partment and two shi^) writers of the Navy Department were
placed under the orders of the committee, and proceeded to over-
haul the records, which hod remained in the dusty, ding>' gar-
rets where tliey had been dumped after the return to France of
Count Rochambipu. dTi,--taing and Count de Grasse.
It is a part of the incidents attending the arduous labors of
the committee, and significant of the character of the work, to
say that my two as-^istants were frequently ill and that I, although
mtich less exposed, contracted three separate cases of grippe,
\\d!ich may have been contracted from contact with the virus winch
lijul lain concealed in the dusty log books of the tleets of
d'Esfaing and de Grassfe. In this connection I desire to bring to
you! n.iiice .and ask, Mr. l'resident-Geiu:ra!, that you .accord them

You may liavc some idea of the labor imposed upon liicse
gentlemen when you consider tlmt there are i,',,o<X) names of
the army and n.avy, among other inscriptions, to be decipb.ered
with care from the def.aced and sometimes doubtful chii i.eraphy.
Ihe lists were linally completed in October, Kjni, and were
placed in tlie liaiuL of Cn.nrral i'oner for transmission to the
.Mmistry of l-'orcign .\llairs for pulilicalion in book form.
In the course of my cui respondence with the French Ministry,
1 seized the occasion to signal tlie excellent services rendered
the committee by M. Lacoiir-Gayet, Michel anal Laplanclie, .add-
ing lliat I ardently liojicd tiiat the character of the work accom-
plished would contribute in the largest measure to bind in close
b'and.i of friendship the two great sister republics.
1 he commitiee decides not to include for the present the squad-
ron of d'Orvillier:; which was engaged in the Vs'ar for American
Independence in French waters as extending immeasurably the
proposed publication. This work \', as abandoned with some re-
luctance because one of the captains of the ileet — de Bessey de la
Vouite, killed in a severe battle with the British— was a de-
scendant of the family Chaille. and the incident is all the more
interesting because the ball that killed him wounded the Marquis
du ChafTault, Division Commander, whose desceiiiiant. Count
Gabriel Charles Patrice Billebaut du Chaftault, is a member of
our Society in France.
In a conununication from the Secretary I am instructed by
Gen. Porter to say that the lists of the ofticers, soldiers- and
sailfirs of the French army and navy who participated in America
in the War for American Independence are to be published con-
jointly by the French and American Governments.
Mr. President-General, with fifteen to 20,000 names on these
lists, \\hose descendants are citizens to-day both of France and
.-Viiierica, the Society in France expects to create a great society,
\\hich by its numbers as well as its Franco- American character
v.ill contribute in tlie largest sense to bind the two republics in
a union political, scientific and commercial in the interest of
both.
(Jn motion, duly seconded, the two reports above referred to
were unanimously approved and directed to be placed on file and
printed.
Mr. Chaille-Long preceded his rep'jrt by the following remarks:
}iIR. CHAIILE-LONG: Although I have come 3,000 miles. I
am accustomed somewhat to the charge of being a Frenchman.
In order to set your minds at rest lu ihi
■ul t^
fectly at home with ycui, I may say lh.;i 1 -m :i member of ;'i.-
Maryland Society and that I was born in the classic regions of
the Eastern Shore. Permit me to add a word in addition to the
report of our Secretary-General. [At this point Mr. la^ng reads
the paper above referred to marked No. 3.]
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN: The C^ompatriot who
has just given us this interesting report has asked that we extend
a vote of thanks to those wliose names he has mentioned there.
I think I will consider that as a motion. (Motion seconded aiul
unanimously carried.) The vote of thanks reads as follows:
Vote of thanks for the services of Af. Lacour-Gayet.
Professor at the Ecole Superieure de Fa Afarine, for his
sympathetic aid to the Committee of the S. A. R. in the
preparation of the lists of the French, officers, soldiers and
sailors who participated in the war for American inde-
pendence. Also the secretaries and attaches, MM. Michel
and Laplanche, for their arduous labors in the prepar-
ation of these lists under the supervision of the Commit-
tee of the Society in France of the S. A. R., and that a
copy of this resolution be communicated to the Ambas-
sador of the United States, Gen. Horace Porter.
MR. MILLER (Illinois) : Referring to the report of the Sec-
retary-General just read, 1 would like to offer the foliowiug reso-
lution :

V\'e thank I'hee that we arc permitted here to nieet together,
and we pray Thee that as we meet it may be in a deep sense of
the obligation th.it rests upon us as the representatives of the
groat spirit of lil'erty and truth. ^.Eay we be blessed of Thee in
all our meetings together, for Christ's sake. Amen.
Mr. Warren (N. Y.) : We have missed from our gatherings
here at this Congress our compatriot, General E. S. Grecly, Vice-
President of tlie Connecticut Society. I know he is here with
us in spirit, but he is attending to a greater duty than aftendhig
tin's Congres.s; he is watching at the bedside of his sick wife.
Therefore, I move that the Secretary-General transmit the fol-
lowing telegram, and that it be spread upon the minutes of this *
Congress.

,n(H|i'.,t C'alitKriiiaiis, ask your kind atttiitiou. We want nothing

rr.id'WS "r v.illeys where the lutd^ i.t freedom tir-t h'.ir-t intei
lic.iulifnl hiooni. Our inspiration llows frriin the for.ntain of
p.itriolisui raised by our forefatliers far f r. .ni our golden land.
K(acliine sul'linie heights and L;i\en supreme power, this foun-
tain spr,-i>3 our li^ifliest peaks, our lowlivst valleys, our fertile
pi, tins and e\en the distant islands of the Pacitie; ever freshenii-,!;
iiherly, e\rr nourishing progress, ever stimulating rr)l)ust Amci i-
e.misni; rieli in every result and rivalhng the rainhow in the
variety and splendor of its hues.
I'roni ih.it fountain, sir and compatriots, we draw our insfiir-
.iii.'u; ft".;! th.it inspiration came our own, tlie first State S' eiety
cr this onler, .ind froni that inspiration wc speak to d.iy. We line
lU' h'Cal signs of 'j6, no remnants of Colonial d.iys, iiu h.ills and
hi'ines of song and story. And yet our patriotism is pure as the
vMiid from our I'lacers, and strong and enduring as our miglity
ui' 'unl.iins. l'"a\ored hy Nature beyond nur lie-eris. stirred by the
jik-auly and grandeur of our scenery, lifted to a lofty pl-uic, our
p.ilrii.ilisin eiju.ds your own, and our as[urations are equally pr.iisc-
w 'irthy.
Ami this is \\hy we ask you to take a new step. This is why
wi.- ad; Ntni to s.ifeguard the symbols of our banner in a di-tant
country. 1 his is why we come three thousand miles to speak
f^^'r a nieunment nearly seven thousand miles from the Golden
Gate. W'e do not speak for a church. W'e speak fur a sentiment,
a gloiious God given sentiment, the tangible, fibrous sentiment of
frei doni.
'J'he amount we ask is trilling. W'e culd gi\e it ourselves atid
ne\er miss it from our fund. Cut the h'>nor of giving is price-
less. W'e would siiai-e that honor with you. We want every
Sun of the .\merican Revolution to act liis part in a new de-
parture.
Let mc talk of church and monument, d he e4d and disused
cliurch called Holy Trinity of the Minories blocks a blind street
in eastern London. On its north wall is the Stars and Stripes
nii^nument. Hence its claim on us. Measured by sentiment the
nvinr.ment is ours, for it marks the burial place of a Washington
and bears the emblems of our (iag. Thanks to the church authori-
ties, we may use that monument as a silent monitor. Thanks to
the church authorities that little church m a sombre business set-
ting sliall shine by day and by night in the glory of its past, pres-
ent and future, through centuries to come, and the American
wandering afar shall in the presence of those stars and stripes
recall his native land and the principles of liberty. In the pres-
ence of that monument he can never be a man without a country.
As he gazes on the time-stained marble he must, he shall, rise to
the spirit of the occasion. There is an irresistible suggestion in
these stars and stripes. I had almost said that even the rector of
the parish feels m.ore than proper pride in the monument. He is
as anxious r.s any Afnerican for irs preservation and the most
enthusiastic of ciceroncs. Though the building is loved as a link
i.i English history, its greatest value, even in foreign estimation,
IS in the Stars and Stripes monument. The narrow and quaintly
carved pews, the ancient vaults and fine and rare plate, the musty
air, and all the relics of a strenuous past, are as nothing when one
stands with bared head before that simple slab on the northern
wall and marks those triute heralds of our own approaching free-
dom.
Since the tldrteenth century the site has been sacred to the
cause of religion. Here stood. the Abbey of St. Clare. In the
vault below the church, two hundred years affer his death on
'I'lnver Hill, wa5_ found the mummified head of the Duke of
S'.'tTolk. father of Lady Jane Grey. But let us on to the monu-
n-.ent. The student may ea-sily fill the hi-:torical gap. The church
is frverely plain. 'I'he building is only sixty-three feet long and
twenty-four feet wide. The distance from the paved floor to the
scanty skylitht is thirty i<:ct The north wall is built of flint and
mort.ir, and ihough dating back to 1563 shows no signs of decay.
.■\5 if f<.r a pri", idential purpose it has bravely defied time. The
liiuiders built better than they knew. On the inner side of that
w ill. a fciv feet from the pulpit, is our monument, our Stars and
Stripe nnniiment. the monument in which the church authorities,
witli the r cf.r m tli.- lead, kindly, aye g.-uerouslv, admit we have,
a etinsiirmni; interest.
The monuuient is a marble =iab .about three feet t.v six: it is
m memory of Llizabeih, niece of Lawrence Wasiiim,MMn. the latter
a direct ancestor of our own immortal George. On a ^ludil sur-
mounting the n'.arble are the Washington arms: the eagle and the
hi.irs and stripes. There is the genesis of ihe American 11, 'g.
I'Tenii ih.e live-pointed siar^ and the broad red stripes came our
sl.iri) bair.Kr.
What meni..iri(.s th U monument recalls! Look ihrougli tlie
axeir.ies of Imie and see wh.U you v. ill. The hori/on is boundless.
The cre-t stood high in 1530, in the days of Henry VHl., but the
proude-t of those who then bore it h.id no thought of its linal niis-
siun. How strange that these emblems of class distinction sltould
ha\e been fitted to republican use! The deeds these emblems
li.i\e since inspired — courage, self-sacrillce and martyrdom — the
human niii'd e.m scarcely compass, and no man can do them jus-
tice. ( )in stars marked a new constellation that has grown
bri:.;hter with the passing years. Thai constellation stood, as it
.always shall stand, for the highest form of human progress; not
ftir lust or rule, not for mere material prosperity, but for th.;
meiral and intellectual miprovement of the world. W'hiat avails
our wealth unless wisely used? .-V popular impression is as po-
tent as a fact; a sentiment is stronger than a law. Admit for
the s.ike of .irpument that we are borne on by sentiment. "1 hen
what? Is It r.ot a noble and exalted sentiment?
We Soils of the American Revolution, sons of men who staked
life, f;ime and fortune on the last cast, men who fought, bled ancl
died that liberty might live, we who would brighten the world's
heuiz.-in with patriotic fires, we, I say, in Congress assembled, the
very phrase echoing words of the patriotic past, may felicitate our-
selves, the nation and the world that to-day, through the kindly
auil th.ougluful courtesy of an Hngliih rector, we may in the
\ery shadow of the shaft to his honor pay cue more tribute to
the fatlier of his country and the benefactor of mankind. ( Ap
plause. )
Gr.XER.\L APPLETON : I take great pleasure in seconding
this motion, that it bo referreil to the committee for ccjnsidi;ration.
Motion introduced by Mr. Bunker: WHEREAS, flie Star.
and Stripes itionument in the church known as Hoiy Trui'.'v of
the Minories. London, England, bears the Washington arms — th.c
eagle and the stars and stripes— and the five-pointed st.irs and
red stripes are presumed to have suggested the design for ;ac
American flag; and
^^'HEREAS, This momunent marks the burial place of Eliza-
beth Washington, of the family fioin which Gei:>rye Waslu'iigton
directly descended; and
WHEREAS, The maintenance of this monument is of deep
interest to the Sons of the American Revolution and it should be
most carefully safeguarded; and
WTIEREAS, Reverend James F. Marr, rector of the parish,
has written that an annual expenditure of $250 is necessary for
the maintenance of the monument and the accommodatieiu of
American visitors to the church, and has also announced that
the co-operation of the Sons will be gladly accepted; therefore
be it
RF,SOLVHD, That the President be and hereby is requested to
appoint a committee of three onjhe Stars and Stripes monument,
with full power to act, whose duty it shall be to inquire into the
conditions of church and mounmenc, and who shall, if the inquiry
prove satisfactoy, arrange for subscriptions from the State socie-
ties to the aggregate amount of S250, wdth the understanding that
the money will be forwarded to Reverend J. F. Alarr, or the
church authorities, for use in the maintenance of the monument
and the accommodation of American visitors to the church.
Motion duly seconded and carried.
MR. RICHARDSON (Cleveland) : The duty has been deie-
g.-ited to me by my colleagues of the Ohio Society to make an an-
nouncement and to offer a motion at this time. It has seemed
fitting that the delegation from the State where he was born, and
in whose service he spent his life, and wdiere his ashes lie, should
announce to this Congress that since our last meeting togetlier
our most loved and distinguished and honored compatriot, Wil-
liam McKinley, has passed from earth: and inasmuch as Ol'.io
gave this compatriot to the country, and his deeds and his life and
his great p^ublic service is the priceless heritage of all compatri-
ots in all States, I make the following motion:
RESOLVED, That a committee be here appointed by the Presi-
dent-General, consisting of one compatriot from each State So-
ciety entitled to representation in this Congress, the Societies of
Hawaii, the Orient and France, whose duty it shall be to prepare
and engross a suitable memorial and present the same to the
family. ..f r.vs late compatriot, Wiili.im McKinley. and to furnish
a copy tor pr.blication in the records of this National Society.
J r PG E WH ITEH E A'l : At a meetmg of the Ex'>cuiive Com-

1 hi\c in my pocket the resolutions tliat 1 have prepared for the
|.i:ipose of meeting my duty in that r<;spcct, and which at the
pr. per time I intended to brin.a; before this convention; but as
my feeble effort would r^ot pcrliaps meet with the approbation of
uiy friend from Ohio, I will second the niolioii of tlie resolution
prw before you.
MR. RICHARDSON: We should be f;lad to have Judge
Whitehead appoinled on tli.it Commillee.
PRI'.SIDKNT-CENEKAL LOGAN; If I am President long
enout^h, Judge Whitehead shall be on that committee.
GENERAL JOSEril BRECKINRIDGE; I will not intrude
on the time of the Congress ; but I had the opportunity to share
in the religious ceremonies in the Far East on the occasion of
the obsequies of our compatriot, and cannot let this opportunity
pass without c.\pressing the feeling, not only that the loss of this
compatriot is one in which all the nations of the earth sympathize
with us, but that all good order was arrayed against those whom
our children are to contend with, when the line of cleavage which
are now growing will certainly come to a collison of arms. Those
in the East shared with us in every re=pect the admiration for
this great man, and I fancy that very few resolutions have ever
been presented to this Society of more sr)lemn moment than the
presenl. I tlierefore re("4uest that the motion he accepted as of
nnu'iu.d m.juient, and that we accept it imanimously by a rising
voie.
Motion carried.
A DELEGATE: I desire to have the resolution amended by
the addition of the name of the delegate from France.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN: The French Society is
one of the constituent societies, and there will be someone selected
from France. I think there is onlj' one man who will be likely to
be selected.

Henry Cabot Lodge and Horace Pe.rter on that occasion exioll
the deeds of Rochambeaii, Lafayette and of other Frenchmen in
the American cause, th:it the fraternal spirit between America and

By resolution at tlie Detroit Congress in 1S99, medals of honor
and diplomas were ordered to be presented to members who, in-
heriting the spirit of their forefathers of 1776, had rendered ser-
vice in tlie regular or viilmUeer army or na\y of the United States
during the war with Spain. 'The New York Congress in iqoo
voted to confer these medals also upon new members who may
be entitled to them. During the first year 436 medals were ward-
ed, members were thus honored, including the hero of Manila
Bay, the next year 109, and since tbie Congress of lyoi there have
been awarded 29 medals, making a total of 574.
The full list to .'Xpril, 1901, was published in the last National
Year iiook, the tv.enty-iune new med.illists being as follijws.

One of tlie objects of this Society is tlie preservation fr.jni \»'=-
sihle loss or destruction of the manuscript roiU of soldiers and
other records of tlie Anic'rican Revolution. Ten years aye Init
few of tlicsc rolls were printed, and in .-.everal States the r!-rchi\es
were inaccessible. Compatriot Proctor, Senator fn:>in \"ermi'iit,
a few years ago secured the enactment of a law under v.hich
such muster rolls as the Government possesses have been ar-
ranged and fully inde.xed, and it is hoped that under thi". same
law, or by additional legislation, the mass of data filed in Revolu-
tionary claims in the Pension Bureau may become more accessible
for public reference. The question of printing the rolls has been
discussed by the Senate Committee on ?ililitary Affairs, but the
publication is delayed by the expectation of securing further rec-
ords believed to exist.
The State of Now York has just issued a supplementary quarto
volume full of most interesting data in regard to civil and military
affairs of the KevuUuion, including li^ts of prisoners, of State
pensioners, of recipients of f^ounty lands, and valuable commis-
sary and equipment statistics.
Connecticut has printed a volume of names of several th(jusand
soldiers not recorded in the work puldished by the Adjutant-
General some years ago; and each ye:^r, as new data is discovered,
Pennsylvajiia adds 'to its pcblislud series of Revolutionary ar-
chives.
The Daughters of the American Revolution have done a goijd
work in compiling the rolls of the soldiers of Georgia, and the
list was recently made public in their Third Report to the Con-
gress of the L'nited States.
Massachusetts has added two volumes to its monumental work
on ''The Soldiers and Sailors of Massachusetts in the Rl-\o1u-
tionary War," making nine volumes thus far completed and carry-
in the roll through the letter "L."
The Society in France of Sons of the American Revolution has
achieved a most valuable work in securing from the GoNernmcnt
archives of France a roll of the twelve to fifteen th.ousand French-
men wlio participated in the War of the American Revolution.
There is still sad lack of accessible records of the soldiers of
Rhode Island. \'erniont, Delaware. Virginia. North Carolina and
South Carolina, and it is hoped that tlie Governments of tliose
States may soon be aro.used to put in permanent form the rolls of
their Revolutionary patriots.
It v.-ould be interesting to know the number of soldiers in the
War of the Revolution, but the data available is hardly enough
to give an appn>ximate aggregate, though it may he roughly esti-
mated that 30o.0eio men, or one tenth of the populalion of the
colonies, were active participants in the war. Massachusetts rec-
ords show some 90,000 enlistments by probalily 6o,oo<:) nien ; New
York had some 45.0(X) soldiers and other c(ilonies in proportion.
The Nati'Mial Register of this Society now being issued is
surely a monumental work in genealogy, containing as it does the
names of parents, grandparuits and great-grandparents of abi'ut
11.300 meniliers, through each generation hack to anceste>rs who
aided in the establishment of the l'nited States of .Vnierica, these
ancesteri including thirty-three of the signers of the Declaration
of Ind'-peiuleiice. 'I'lie prej^a-ation of printer's copy for this work
w.is cerl.iliily a gig.mtic task, and nolhiiii: but th.'; strongest . :ii-
leiest in the Si.ciety couM \\.\\v indiurd your Regislrar-( iener.al

As ,1 matter of gemali>gical inipoilaiice in which this Society
nrist be vitally interested, the following resolutions are presentetl
wbieli it is hoped may be acted upon at once, as the question is
tc'-d.iy before the Senate of the United States:
\\T1ERF,;\S, In the bill for an act mriking appropriations for
sundry civil expenses of the Go\ t rnmeut, which is now on its
l)ass;ige in the Senate, a provision has b^ en incorporated looking
!<) the tiestruclion of the whole or a p.irt of the census schedules,
which contain the names of the inhabitants of this country at
e,i di decennial period since the year 179O; and
WTILRJC.VS, There is danger that these records of inestimable
N'alue may be destroyed, for want of app''eciation of their import-
ance, unless expression is given to public opinion upon the sub-
ject 1)\- i)arties interested in their preservation; and
Wl ! rJ\ I'.VS, The Society of the Sons c>f the .\merican Revolu-
tion, wlinse fundameiil.d t)rinciplc is reverence for the patriotic
deeds of our sires and pride in tlieir achievements, is the only
l)ody nc>w in session which can enter a timely, and, it is to be
liMped, an etTectivi. [protest against this proposed legislation; there-
fore
Rl{.SC)LVrT), That we place upon record our seiise of the inex-
pediency and impolic}' of any disposition of the records in question
other th.in their penn.inent preservation at the nalion.al capital,
either in the permanent census office or elsewhere. They are a
tre.'i-nre h.ou.se of original information as to identity of individuals
.and families, from the point of view of th.^ genealogist, ar,d not
infiequentiy an aid to the judicial settlement of contrf)\'ersies as
to property rights by inheritance. They shed light which can be
procured from no other source upon the social, politie'al and eco-
nomic relations of the people of llie Cnited Slates dining the past
hundred years. Their value to the antiquarian anij to students of
history will continually increase in projiortion to their age. 1 he
peiaple ha\e paid many millions of dollars for them, and if de-
stroyed they cannot be replaced, if scattered they can never Ijc
reassembled. Science and sentiment unite in the demand tliat this
contemplated outrage on both shall not be consumated, and in
their name we appeal to the patriotism of Congress to prevent its
consumation.
RESOLVi'.D. That a copy of this action by this Soc-iety be fur-
nished to the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropria-
tions, Senator Allison, of Iowa, with a respectful n/quest that he
will call the attention of his colleagues in the Senate Uj our views
and tills expression of them.
In 1892 your present Registrar-General served the Society as
Secretary-General and performed the duties also of Registrar-
General, and in 1893 he was elected to the latter otf'ice. Te-ua\-,
in closing the first decade of his administration, he thanks the

to him in keeping the records of the Society up to the highest
standard.

The Council of the Natie^nal Trust for Places of Historic In-
terest and Natural Beauty is the only organization in this ce^iuitry
that stands for the safeguarding of the historical associations of
the English-speaking people as a whole and amenities of life
that are constantly threatened by modern comm.ercialism. This
work, so far as it pertains to places of historic interest connected
with the American Revolution, is secured throuch the Sons and
L^.iughters of the American Revolution and stands for history.
It_ is true that there is a certain narrowness in the historic point

liotic sociclics is iluc foi ilie most pan that practical demon- tra-
il,-.11 (if hift.ir3'' which lias bc-cn said to be so valuable in municipal
.csihi iic=.. The placing of a tablet in itself is of little consequence
,is a factor in the education of the people, unless it is so related
1(1 olhev events as to "visuali/ie the past" and thus be of service
not only to the scholar bv.t of great influence in the education of
the d^-nv 'cracy. This council is designed tu unite all organizations
in dilTcrent States devoted to sucli purpo,-.c_-. as a means of educa-
tion for the puldic. Concord was the first town in America to fcrni
a local organization to preserve objects of historic inlero't. I'hc
saving of tlie hoi:3e of Carlylc in Chelsea, and its associations with
Kalph Waldo Emerson, doubtless had nmch to do with this. Gtr-
niaiitown is only second to Concord in preserving its n-.any his-
toric sites. The saving of the Van Cortlandt mansi'^i Ijy the
Colonial Dames is an in'^taiice of the work being done in this
direction. In Frankfurt there is ihe Goethe h' use; in Florence,
ihc house of Michael Angclo, the sculptor; in Edinburgli, that of
lohn Knox, the reformer; which are all preserved attd maintained
as historical repositories of everything pertaining to the lives and
works of these great ment. On this line is the muvtinciit in New
York to secure the Jume! INlansion and grounds at Washington
Heights as a suitable place for the establishment of an historic
park, for tb.e preservation of Washington's headquarters, which
occupy the site, and for housing of relics of the Revolution and
of the early history of the country. The fundamenlal principle
of the National Trust is to safeguard for the community these
objects in the direction of history and the records of the past;
and in this congeries of races which exists to so large an ex-
tent in America we are only working out on a larger scale -the
same problems that have' been already solved in the old world ;
and thus shall be accomplished the great task of teaching history,
not by books only, but as it relates to the conditions of life and
character in the past, and so bring its influence to bear upon the
problems of modern democracy as a means of elevation to the
people. In this respect the patriotic societies have a great mis-
sion to perform. They have already done much in this respect.
The preservation of certain historic sites in New York and else-
where is worthy of the highest commendation; but this work is
only partially begun, and it cannot be carried out to its fullest
extent except as this Society, with all the patriotic organizations,
act in conj miction with the Council of the National Trust, which
is engaged not only in the work of preserving historic sites, but
also places of great natural beaut}', such as is now done by the
American Scc-nic and Historic Preservation Society of New York
City. The field of their operations is necessarily limited, but
there is no reason in teaching history as though all history prior
to 1776 is foreign history; but this is all due to the narrow meth-
od teaching history in the American schools. Properly consid-
ered, there is no reason why the memory of men like St. Augus-
tine, William of Wickham, King Alfred, Henry the Fifth. Wil-
liam of Orange, Chaucer, Ormond the Brave, or the associations
connected with Runnymede, should not be as sacred a trust to us
as to Englishmen, and the time may coine when they will be quite
as much American as English. This may be considered a new
and novel role to pursue; but the impetus thus set on foot is
certainly in this direction, and it is only a question of time when,
as a matter of education, these desired ends will be attained.
Up to the present no systematic effort has been made by the
National Society to have the exercises of the marking of places of
historic interest collected together and made a permanent and ac-
cessible fund of historical information in the possession of the
Historian-General of-this Society. The Year Books to a certain
extetit contain this information, but it is practically inaccessible
to the members at large. For this purpose Mr. Theodore S.
Peck, former Historian-General, decided to take the initiative and
started an inquiry with the view of securing by means of an ofii-
cial circular addressed to the different societies, information as
to all points of interest pertaining to the Revolution in their sev-
er.al States, and copies of all newspaper; or other articles of Revo-
lutionary interest which may appear from time to time in their
States. This was an important move in the right directi'-^n to
'secure such historical matter, but only Arizona, Maine and Vir-
t;'ui:i responded to his inquiry. Acting on his suggestion, I sent
"ut a revised letter asking for less information but in a more
condensed form, with special reference to the monumems and
'ablets erected during the year, with photographs of the same.
It IS very gratifying to be abb- to report that there ha^ been, a
^<ry ctierous ^espon■^c to tliis inquiry. Letters have b-rn re-
'•;i;.e_d from the societies of Tennessee, Delaware, Minnesi.ta. the
•■•r.ipire State Society, Maine, California, Massachusetts. .\ri-
••'■na, Lousiana. Kansas and Michigan. Such information is being
■arranged and placed in i suitable scrap-book, 50 that in time a
comi>letc personal history of th'^ l\evolution can be compiled, as
represented by the monimunis oul l:ib!ei>, ibr \.due of wiiich in

Of the pfincip.ii historical e\eius ijf tlie p:i-st ye.ir as >o repoitt'cl,
the following may Ik- iii<nti' lUeel :
The unveiling of the mniuiiueiU at Ceioeh's IWidiv , r''l.iu.irc,
marking the spot where Ih'i .Viueiiean tlai.; w.i- tirst uut'urli d in
battle, is i^f great iiuerest. 'Ibi- eveiu neenried .111 ilie -pit where

standing eight feel hi:.;h and enclosed in a Mpiare, tlie corners of
which are marked by cannon and the sides by heavy ;irieiior chains,
and the inscription is under a reuresi nt.ition of the oriuinal il.ag
of thirteen bars and tliirt(.en stars. It stands ne;ir Ihe residence
of J. Wilkins Coeicli, a desceiid.uit of the Revululicjiiary crocjch,
whose name is now assoei.ite'l with this su<'t.
Tn his address on this occasion, Mr. lleniy Cutirad, among
other things, said :
"When Flowe and his fleet left New 'S'ork, July 17, 1777. he
had with him I7,oc>o men, proceeded southward, .and .alter dis-
embarking on the shores of the Chesapeake mauiied tnward
Philadelphia. Washingioii, with 11,000 men, encanqied near
White Clay Creek and inok a strong position at Iron Hill. Tlie
British were commanded by ^.Iijor-General Grant, and the Cmiti-
nenia's by Gen-n-al Ma.Kwell. Cir.uit's duty was to pr-^erve the
line of communic aticM with ("'ornw.dlis and Knipbauseii. It was
deemed expedient to vruti Iron Hill. A picket force v/as slatif'iied
at Coocli's Mill, while the American pickets were at Christiana
Bridge. !^[a.xwe!l met CVniVvanis and, after a short fight, was
forced to retreat o\-cr White Clay Creek. Washington. Greene
and Lafavette went forv/ard and viewed tlic British cain[), and
slept that night in a farmhouse nearby, and the next day, as
Washington expressed it, made a lucky retreat. It was here,
however, that the forces of Howe were walcbcd by the f"rccs of
Washington, and where the new flag adopted by ilie Continental
Congress was raised for the first time in battle.''
The ■Maryland Society erected and unveiled, Octeiber lo, irwi,
the great monument to the Maryland heroes of the Revolution. It
is a granite shaft sixty f'et high, surmounted by a bronze statue
of the Goddess of Liberty, h was erected to cc>mmemorate the
Revolutionary services oi these heroes, commencing with the
Riflemen at Cambridge, A-Ugust 0, 1775. and ending v\ith the sur-
render at Yorktown, October 19, 1771, as covering the whole story
of tl'.e war. The day of its unveiling was not only the anniversary
of the Battle of Y'orktown, but was also that of Peggy Stewart
Day, Maryland's Tea Party.
It was the first great m.onument erected solely to commemorate
the Revolutionary services of the soldiers of a single State.
Maryland played a conspicuous part in the Revolution, and her
history in that respect may be sniel fj be the history of that great
event. On the Declaration of Independence we tind the names of
Chase, of Paca, of Stone, and of Charles Carroll, of CarroHton.
Johnson nominated Washingte,n for the position of commander
of the army as a member of tb.e First Continental Congress.
Smallwood. Howard, Gist, Hall, tlriftith and Watkins led the
Maryland forces through the war and fought with them at Cam-
bridge, Long Island, Trenton. Princeton, Braiidywine, Monmouth,
Stony Point. Savannah, Guilfird Cinirt H-aise and Y'orktown.
Such patriotism found a fitting recognition in the grand monument
thus erected.
On the same day, October 19, root, the iMichigan Society un-
veiled a bronze tablet to the memory of Major-Gcneral Anthony
Wayne, placed on the front Ti"riico nf the new Wayne Court
House. It bears a facsiniile ut ihe in^iynia of t'ne Society, a map
of Wayne County, as then esMbli-hed, and a portrait of General
Wayne in bas relief, 'llli•^ t.ibbt is desimiated to conmieinorate
one of the greatest events in .Vmeric-an history, and is a tribute to
one of the leading fighting generals ,if the Revolution. It had
been tried in vain to "^iibdne the Indian- of the Nnrthuest Terri-
tory then in open warfare with tlie settlers. The British were

at the elo,e. Tlu re was scarcely an important i)atlle dining the
whole of this war in which he was nut personally engaged. Wiih
thi> 'prestige as a daring S(jldier, he took up his march from
Pitlshurg, and for over a period of two years proceeded through
the wilds of this sax age connlry down the Ohio and northward to
Fallen Timher-, where on August ^o, 1794. he achieved a brilliant
victory over the cnmhined forces of the British and Indians, wiped
out an Indian warfare that had lasted for over twenty-five years,
and opened the Northwest to the settlement of the wdiitcs. He
entered h)etroit August 17, 1796, as military governor of the
Territory, which the I'.ntish had evacuated on the nth of July,
and the .American flag was then raised for the first time over this
region, which then became a part of'the Federal Union. It was
such an event that this tablet was designed to connnemorale.
On X'ovemhcr 16, lyoi. the Empire State Society unveiled a
bronze tablet on a granite monument connnemorating the Revolu-
tionary Battle of I''ort Washington in the City of New York.
It is located on the northern end of Maidiattan Inland. C'U tlie
site registered by the American Scenic and Historical Preserva-
tion Society. There the fort was constructed by the Continental
troops in tiie summer of 1776, was later taken by the British after
a heroic defense, November 16, 1776, and re-possessed by the
Americans upon their tr.iumphant entry into the Cuy of New
York November 25. 1703. It was erected through the generoMty
of Mr. James Gordon Bennett, the New York journalini. At this
place three thousand men, the flower of the American army under
the command of General Washington, attacked by overwhelming
numbers, after a brilliant defense and a brave struggle, surrend-
ered and were made prisoners of war, but not before fr\ e hundred
Hessians had ''bit the dust." Many of the Americans who were
taken prisoners were afterwards executed in the Englir^h prison-
ships. It was the darkest day in American history, and many de-
spaired of their country's future. But it was not so with ^\'ash-
ington, who with that determination which always characterized
his conduct in the most trying times of the Revolution, gathered
up his disheartened troops and began his famous retreat from the
Hudson til the Delaware, where victory later was to crown his
efforts, and in the end he was to re-posses this fort wdien he
afterwards made his triumphal entry into the City of New York.
In the battle of Fort Washingron there was a conspicuous illus-
tration of the close alliance between the scenic and historic ele-
ments which formed the twofold character of the American
Scenic and Historic Preservation Society, which selected the site
for this .monument. "It is a remarkable and interesting fact."
says Mr. Andrew H. Green, President of that Society, "so nearly
universal as to warrant its interpretation as the expression of an
underlying principle, that the great conflicts of mankind have been
identified with conspicuous features of natural scenery. Among
a rugged and virile people, the physical features of the landscape
which make impress on their moral character, afford the salient
points from wdiich to exercise their genius. This is notably the
truth with regard to military engagements, and many of the great
battles of history have been associated with picturesque topo-
graphical features.
''The territory," continues Mr. Green, "over which the battle
of Fort Washington was fought one hundred and twenty-five years
ago, some three or four square miles in e.xtent, comprises the
most picturesqi'.e portion of the City of New York. It i.-; the high-
est, boldest and most diversified section of our ancient ciiy, and
it commands a combined view of land and water, of city and
country, unsurpassed. by any city in the United States. I*: is the
only portion of Manhattan Island, where the shore line of the
beautiful American Rhine has been left in its native picturesque-
ness and it is the only portion where any trace of its pristine
beauty remains imdosecrated and unrazed by the levelitig marks
of so-called 'public improvements.' "
It is thus apparent that this Society is fast making a record of
the most important historical events of the Revolution. Each one
of these four celebrations an epoch in the history of this countrv.
That at Cooch's Bridge, the time when the American armv had
its own disMnctive ting in battle; that of the Maryland monument.

ance as a meauj of mipr^iwmeiu tor the general good. Ot:r vs^rk

im[>etus and the motive fur great lesults. We celebrate the events
Lit till- Revolution, as tending to create love of country, but when
identified with locations of scenic beauty, they both tend to de-
velop the patriotic spirit and leslhetic sense, which togeiher means
staliility io our institutions and a higher life for the pciple. This
is tlie true foundatioti for a democracy such as exists in this
country. To assist in creating which we believe is the grand

Mr. NOBLE D. EARNER: Mr. President-General, 1 wiOi to
ntate to you that the tluwers now placed before you on lliis plat-
furm have been sent to us this nifirtiing as a pre-cnt to the Na-
tional Congress from the President of the United States, through
Col. Bingham.
PRESIDENT GI-,NER.\L LOGAN; I announce as the com-
mittee appointed on Mr. Bunker's resolution, Mr. Bmiker, Geiural
Appleton, and A. Howard Cl.ark.
'SU. NOBLE D. L.\RXER: I have received a dispatch frc'm
our old friend General Joseph Wheeler. ( ,\ppjausf.) The
General has been very sick in the City of Brooklyn. He is still
sick, and he sends me a dispatch tliis morning saying that my
invitation to him to be present has been received and that he
regrets very much that he cannot be here.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN: The next regular busi-
ness is the report of the National Commutee on the Revision of
the Constitution, by Judge Hancock.
JUDGE BIANCOCK: Under peculiar circumstances, at the
DetroH Congress in 1S99, the Constitution was amended so that
the President and Vice-Presidents of this Society could n<,it be
elected twice in succession. In igco, many societies being disatis-
fied with this amendment of the Constitution, there were two
other amendments proposed. One from New Jersey, recom-
mended by the New Jersey Society, proposed a return to the old
system, which allowed the Congress to vote for condidates as
often in succession as they pleased. The second, from the District
of Columbia Society, allowed simply that they might be voted for
a second term after having been elected once. We have pro-
posed— the Committee on Revision — three amendments, which
will appear here in this report. In order that there might be no
mistake. I ventured to place them before the Society of" Pennsyl-
vania, and they unanimously recommended them to the General
Congress now in session.
The report is as follow-s :
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUION
PRESENTED BY THE DISTRICT OF
COLUMBIA SOCIETY.
"Strike out from the proviso Section i the the word "second"
and for it insert the word "third." so that the proviso shall read,
"Provided that the President-General and five \"ice-Pre5identn-'
General shall not be elected for .1 third consecutive term."
RESOLUTION OF THE CONGRESS OF 1.701 A T
PITTSBURG.
Resolved, That this whole questir.n in respect to the .imeud-
merU proposed be postponed to next year and th:it a committee

viso of Section 1, Article V of the
Pitruit in iS.)9 as an aniencimciit.
I'M.Jcr the original Cernstitntion the President-General and
Vice-Presidents were elected aiiurdly. It .will llieiefine he
perceived that both the proviso and it.-, amendment arc clear
limitations upon the power of the Society to elect its own otti-
cers. However eminent and efficient n member may be, and
l.Mwever desirous the membership may be in elect him, tliey are
prevented frum so doing if he shall happeri Id have filled either
lit thse offices for the term mentioned in tiie proviso or the pro-
|)iised amendment. 'I'he committee believe aUo that the practical
effect of the extension (if the llmii of election to two, three or
five years would mean through a kind of compulsive courtesy,
the extension of the terms of those officers for those periods
when it might be desirable to terminate them sooner. Nor do
the committee imderstanfl that anything is gained by such Innila-
tions. The same power which creates the limitations fleets the
ofticers, and can therefore apply without restriction a liniitati.iU
to each particular ofhce. The fict is that such limitations are
usually be gotten from a want of courage in the elector to
exercise liis suffrage in accordance with hi> convictions; and U
is not to be presumed, that descendants of Revolutionary heroes
who risked and lost tlieir lives for independence, have so far
lost the virtue-, of lluir ancestors as nov to have suilicient in-
dependence to vote for what they conceive to be tlie best in-
terests of their Society.
It has been suggested t'hat these limitations would by rotations
in office gi.e to all members an opportunity to fill the higher
positions. This, however, would tend to belittle the offices. 1 he
committee cannot believe that an argument of this kind wi!' have
much weight with the Society; nor that so petty an ambition
could have influence with a body of men who as descendants of
the leathers of the Republic occupy a post of honor much higher
than that to which they can attain through the occupancy of any
office.
Even without reference to the power in the Society to put an
end to official life, there usually grows in such organizations an
unwritten law which fixes a limit to official terms of office. In
our country no President has been elected to a third term, and
if we turn to the records of our own Society, we find that the
first President only filled the office for one year, the second for
three years, the third for five years, the fourth for two years,
and the fifth and sixth for one year each. It is ne't at all likely,
unless under extraordinary conditions, which would meet the
full approval of the whole Society, that we shall ever have a
President who will fill the place for a period longer tlian five
years.
The committee therefore recommend that the Constitution
be so altered as to return to the original rule of the Society, and
that Article \', Section i, be amended to read as f':'llows:
Section i. "The General Officers of the National Society shall
be a President-General, five Vice-Presidents-Gcneral, a Secre-
tary General, Treasurer General. Registrar General, Plistorian
General and Chaplain General, who shalb be elected by ballot
by a vote of the itiajority of the members present at the annual
meeting of the Congress of the National Society, and shall hold
office for one year and until their successors are elected."
Although the words of the resolution scarcely compreh.end it,
the Congress seem to have expected a revision of the whole
Constitution. The committee have found that document to be a
very caref'illy prepared and cijmpr<'hensi\e instrument, and that
no changes =hould be made without careful consideration. They
have thought it proper, hmvever, to sugest two slight addiions.
I. In Article II. it. is mentieined as one of the objects of the
Society "to celebrate the annu-ersarjes of the promir.ent evunt_-
of the war." It has been tlie practice of the Society to go much
farther than this and to celebrate the civil as well as military
anniversaries of the Revolutionary peri. d. W'e therefore sug-
gest that this clause be amended by adding thereto the word-,
"and the Re\ olutionary period." The clause will then read,
"tn Celebrate the anniversaries of the prominent events of the
'■ear and of the Revolutionarv pericid."
-. .\rticle VIII. provides that the Constitution may he
amended at any meeting of the Ce'ttaress * * * prr/vided
'hat sixty days' notice of the -proposed amendments, "which slrdl
tirst have been recommended by a State Socie'y, shall he s-. nt
'■ly the Secretary-General to the President of each State Soeietv "
It is to be noted that^ defects of the Constitution rarelv cor
within the purview of \he State Soci
controikd by their own conslit itions and by-laws. On th«- other
hand all troubles which ari>e under tlie Coiisiitmicii are fi It with

as to this amendment to the Constituti(in. It seems \o mc tlu re
should be one resolutie-n to receive the report, which could be
passed by a majority vote; the other would require a two-thirds
vote.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN: The point is well taken
and it is covered by the present feirm of the ni'nion.
Motion carried, and repC'rt ordered to be printed.
PRESIDENT-GENER.VL LOGAN: The question now is
upon the adoption of the proposed amendment. Governor
Franklin Murphy proposes that the vote be taken separately.

Section i. The General Officers of the National Se.cioiy
shall be a President General, five Vice-Presidents General. ,a

'Cieties which are genenily

Then, in 1S99, this proviso was added ;
"Provided, That the President-General
dents-tjeneral shall not be elected for
term."
We_ propose to strike out that proviso and let it stand as the
Constitution was originally adopted.
Mr. NOBLE D. EARNER: This is a question which has
agitated the Society of the District of Colunibia for many years,
and I think it was the first Society that ever introduced the
question in^o the N,-'.ti(.'nal Sc'cicty. We had been at that for sev-
eral years and we finally adeptcd our present Constitution. We
think that the side ^^•e have taken is the right side; we hold
that no man has the riuht to have a perpetual office. We are all
equal and we all have the right to hold office, and we think that
the rule that governs our District of Columbia Society is the
proper one and the one that should govern this Nafional'S^cietv.
()ur rule is that no one can he elected as President of the
Society more than .'rcV.-. I-~.jr instance. I was elected ia-^t vear
as the President of nur S u-ety and I ha-e been elected a ^eond
time. I don't think we should bring it) any compatriot and say

■a 'this unv ' N t!>ere any necessity for it at all ? It seems to mc
', if it would w.irk nuainst the smaller societies m the smaller
si-„es uhere they have not yet devel...pcd. I caimot sec any
," cc-ssity for passing this amendment on this particular occasion.
I'f Vn the future, occasion should arise, the Society can then
;,iopt that amendment. I agree, however, with Compatriot
I :irner, and endorse his views.
Mr. J.'VMES SMITH (Michigan) : I understand that we arc
voting the amendmeni to Section i. Article V.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN (to Mr. Larner) : Did
you move an amendment.'
Mr. L.\RNI:'K: Yes; and it was seconded here.
A DELEG.M'E: Is a motion to amend an amendment to the
Constitution in order?
PRIvSIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN: The point of order is
mad'' that ;in amendment to an amendmetit to the Ouistitution
IS out of order; I think the point oi order is well taken.
DR. E. M. GALL.\LU)ET: I am amember of the District
of Columbia Society, and while I would not wi;h to seem to
'irescnt any view; that would not be sustained by the members
of that Society. I am aware that our Society has st<jod for a
two-years term. But I cannot allow the present occasion to
pass without expressing my honest opinion and conviction with
regard to this whole matter,
I am in tiiorough sympathy with the report and recommenda-
tions of the committee'; and I will briefly give you my reasons.
1 do not think, in the first place, that it is fitting for a Society
like this to attempt to tie its hands in regard to tlie m.itler of tlie
clecion of its most important officers; I think the Society should
he free to do from time to time, from year to year, wdiat the
interests of the Society seem to demand, (Applause.) If they
demand a rotation in office after one year's term, they can have
it; they have only to vote by a majority to have another Presi-
dent, and they can have it if they think it is desirable to the
interests of the Society. If any emergency arises; if any impor-
t.int questions crop up; if a President pre-eminently fitted for
that oflice has been elected to that office, and the Society desires
to retain him in office, it would seem — pardon the word— rather
ihildish for us to do what we might very well leave to the
Society to do. I have another reason for being opposed to any
liiniiaiion by the Constitution. Such limitation is simply absurd,
and I will show you why.
Suppose the limit is for one year; suppose the Constitution
says we shall not re-elect; everyone knows that in a body like
this a man remains in office until his successor is elected, and
although it takes a two-thirds vote to change the amendments,
they could simply refuse to go into an election for President by
a majority vote, and if they wanted a man who was already in
to stay in three or four years more, they could keep him in. I
think, therefore, Mr. President, that it is simply trivial to allow
the Constitution to tie its hands, and I think it is far better
for us to support the report of the committee, and to return to
what was the original provision of the Constitution. ((.Ap-
plause.)
MR. HANDY (Delaware) : I realize from the manifesta-
tions of the compatriots present that there is a strong sentiment
on the tloor in favor of the adoption of this resolution; yet I do
not desire to see the \ote taken without saying a word in opposi-
tion to it.
If I may venture to attempt a reply to the clear and eloquent
utterance of the gentleman who last addressed u^. I woidd say
in the first place ttiat if'fh.e present Constitution i; futile, if tlie
Society now has the power, by the ingenious method suggested
by the last speaker, to continue indefinitely in office the Presi-
dent-General, why is he so an.xious to change? If he has what
he wants now, why docs he want the amendment?
DR. G.\LL.\UDET: To wipe out the absurdity in our Con-
stitution ; that is all.
MR. EI.\NDY: It may be an absurdity, but I venture to say
that wdiile it stands in the Constitution the gho-t which the
gentleman sees will never ris.- from its grave. It is cffect've.
where it stands. Now, what is the history? The Congress had
an iH-.Iim:ted term, an unlimited number of re-elections for its
President-General. Having tried that it put an amendment to
the Constitution, thus showing that in some respects at least
there must have hcen disatisfaction with the working of the
original Cnnstiiuiion. Those wlm Iriod it didn't like u and
thev changed it. What has been the fncnnn Miice the chaug.-.^
W'liat is the grievance? What are the causes now, genilemen,
•vhich make you ask for :i change? Have we not had goo<l
Presidents-General since? Has not the Society prospered since?
We have had three of tluui since, and for my part, looking
back. I would rather have had the th.ree than any one of them
three times. (Applause.) l-"Mr my part, looking back, I would
not like to give up the administration of Waller Seth Logan.
(Applause.) " For my part, again looking back, I would not like
lu giv(f up the administration of General Joseph P>rcckinridge.
(Applause.) And with all honor to the distinguished compatriot
from New Jersey, with a laurel wreath around his administration
for one year there could not have been another leaf added if he
had served all of three years as President-General. What is
the grievance of these gentleiv.cn? Why do they wanta remedy?
I heard, accompanied by applause, at the opening of this Con-
gress, the President-General asert that this Society had in it an
inexhaustible line of gentlemen fit to serve as President of the
United States, one after the other to the end of time. (Ap-
plause.) He mentioned a Republican President or a Democratic
Prt-iident, and the only thing that astonished me was that he
failed in nominating as a candidate for the President of the
Democratic party his own modest and beaming self. (Applause. )
If we have in this Society an unlimited supply of candidates
for the office of President of the United Stales, one every four
years, surely we Ccin find an unlimited supply of Presidents-
General, one every year. And if wc can find a suitable man, one
every year, a man of dignit\-, a m.m of capacity, of enthusiasm,
then wd-.y not let us have them in f\\if succession? You say it is
"childish' to put it in. It is already in, and for my part I never
batter down a door unless I want to get on the other side of it.
If I find a door locked, and I want to go around on the other side,
I am ready to batter with my knuckles to get across; but, if I
don't want to get at the other side of the door, there is v.o reason
for battering dr.wn t'ne door; and as we have the Constitution
as it is. unless you want to elect sonie man permatiently, unless
you have reached that state of mind where you want one man.
to keep him all the time, it is childish to talk of changing the
Constitution to do something which you do not want to do after
you are a^.ile to do it.
Tliere are no fetters and no bonds when you are doing just
what >'ou want to do any how. When \o\\ w.int to do some-
thing that you are not permitted to do. you are bound. I re-
member as a boy hearing about the bonds of matrimony. I have
been married for fifteen years and I have not yet fouiul th.e
bonds too tight ; there has never been any disposition to get
away from this delightful society. I understand that there
never could be a day wdien the Society would be more tempted:
there never could be a more charming time to keep th.e man
there forever than now, with the lovely gentleman wdio presides
over this body at the present time. But I understand. f.s dearly
beloved as he may be to the Society, as willing as the S^jciety
may be to have him all its life, I understand that he is a fiirta- '
tious individual, and that he would not do it — and we might
h:i\e a breach of promise case. Let us wait until we find ci
man who will be willing to be our permanent spouse before wc
give up our position as a maternal spouse with one husband and
niT chance of getting into the market again. (Laughter.)
DR. GALLAL'DET : I have no wish to prolong this discus-
sion. My honorable friend from Delaware has drawn some in-
ferences from the position that I have expressed which I tliink
I am not willing to have st.and. It would be inferred from what
he said that those wdio are supposed to sustain the committee
in their report on this occasion are in favor of having a President
in for an unlim.ited term. That by no means follows. I. myself,
am perfectly willing, if the Society so desires, to have a new
President every year. I am a member of several organizations
of dirferent sorts in which there is an unwritten law that the
President shall be renewed every year. I am sure I feel vcrv
m.uch easier in those organizations wdiere the law is an unwritten
law; where it is held to-d;iy as the proposed requirement. I
said something a little wliile ago ahouf feeling that this Society
should not have its hands tied. I am by no means urginsj that
this Society should adopt the policy of re-clecing p. President
for five years or ten years. I would rather prefer a frequent
change, but I do fee! that the Society sluiulrl be tree to re-elect
a President if it pleases to do so, and not have its hands tied.

vote in this case for what is wise and what is rij^lu, and to ha\e
that liberty to decide when any question is presented to me in
lis own connection and in no other connection.
Now, gentlemen, the (luestion that has been presented to us
several times has been that of electing a man to the otiicc of
I'residcnt-General of this Society; and when T have come to that
i|Ufstion I have felt it an insult to my manlniod to have it said
to me, "Vl'U have not sense or judgment enough to ha\e this
question submitted to },ou in its simpiicity." \\"e have been
t<ild that one man shall be eliminated from j'our choice. I liave
mauliood enough, ^ir, to vote against any man, who is put up
before us for any reason that there may be. I belie\e that every
iither man should have an equal right to decide that case for
himself; nor do I believe, sir, that there is any danger Of men
such as are collected here being- guided or inrluen.ced by any
kind of cliques or anytliihg of that sort, I think we should
come to an election of a P'resident-General with hands united.
Let me go back, the matter v.hich was presented to u; in such
admirable style is, that it was best for this Society to select one
man after another to fdl this high otlice ; in all of \vlu'ch I agree
witli \ou. Lhit. sir, permit me to say that I think that we did
less harm to those gentlemen whom we elected one after aitother,
when we simply and practically said to them: "Sir, we elect
you to this office; you are our second choice; we cannot elect the
outgoing gentleman ; we must elect someone else, and it must
be you." We should say to our retiring President: "We are
proud, of your services, but we have another man whom we will
now proceed to honor." I think we should be free to honor a
man who has served us excellently, by a second term. I should
not be afraid of a third term if it were for the best interests
of the Society. I should not be afraid of any duration of office
which made itself clear to us as for the best interests of our
Society. As I look at the list of our otricers general, I ain some-
times prone to wonder why it is that on one side we have a list
of gentlemen who are not' realists, and on the other, of these
who are realists. Does this Society mean to draw a line and
say that the Presidents-General are purely honorary officers, and
we hard-working members on the other side, because the Secre-
tary-General and Chaplain-Geneial have siich arduous duties
that they must be well exercised in them and therefore elected
again and again. I would eliminate the distinction between the
"honorary" and the "laborious" clashes, and recognize that both
are here for the interests of the work; and as long as they serve
us I would return them when it seems to be the best judgm.ent
of this Society to so re-elect them.
MR. FRANKLIN MURPHY: I had not expected to say a
word ; Judge ILancock, however, asks me to s.ay something, and
1 will take about two minutes of your time to give you two
suggestions born of my experience.
It has been said on this iloor this mornii.g that we had a
President-General who served this Society for five years, and
that we couldn't get rid of him except we sent him out of the
country. That is true,' and it is no reflection on any other occu-
pant of that chair to say that this Society was never served with
■^uch unselfish devotion, with such magnificent ability, and that
I' ne\er so prospered as it prospered under the Presiderit-Gen-
cral.ship of Horace Porter. (.Applause.) .\nd when we have a
President-General, qualified as he was qualified to fill that o.Tice,
>l he is willing to serve, I hope he will be continued in his ofiice
until you send him out of the country.
Now, I want to say another thing, also born of my experience,
heea\ise as you know, no member of this Society was as close
'" General Porter as [ w;is during his incunibency of this office,
■"'"d no man in this Society knows better than [ how much he did'
•Tud how well he did it for the Association, What do we want
"i_th.e office of the President-General.? Do we want a man
^'iM will preside over iis with skill and dignity and honor?
surely WQ (Jo; and their name is legion, if that is all you want.
Every member of this Society can d^. that if that is all you
want. You want a man wdio shall Ijcconie so interested m th.e
work, so familiar with the technicalities of tin; work, and so
de\-:>tcd to the interests of it, lint he shall serve >oti as in my
judgment no man <an serve you if v nj turn bin, ..ut at th.e end
of the year, 'i'h.it is practically all, and tli.it ends what I have
(o say.
If you have the best inti-rests of this .^ssocLition at heart,
you will let the President-General serve yon as he can serve
you by virtue of his knowledge of the duties and opportunities
of his ofiice, and not turn him out ju-t as he gets re.idy to serve
you at his best.
MR.' BRIGGS (Texas): Our Society is a very small one,
but the members of it Ikivc become impressed with the fact th.at
the best service to be obtained in organizations of this character
is by having in it men whom they can trust; men of experience;
men who have conduilcd the organizati'.'n to a successful stand-
point, and whom they know can continite that work; and not
by putting it in the hands of someone else simply for the sake
of rotation of ofiice. It is the hope of our Society that this
organization slands aljove politic.il feeling; that it stands for
something more than that every man shall have a chance to be
President of the organization; that it is looking to the blending
of the patriotic feeling throughout the country. Put ih.ose men
in the highest places who can engender and stimulate and
enhance that feeling; and wdien we get such men in, keep them.
We want no limitations or restrictions imposed upon us by the
Constitution or anybody else which will defeat th.at purp'>se.
JUDGE WHITEHEAD: At our New Jersey S-.ciety, which
is very conservative, an amendment to the Constitution was pro-
posed and passed. A year afterwards, uiuler the leadership of
the present President of that Society, it was propo-.ed that this
Congress should be asked to set a5ide that amendment and
return to the Constitution as it existed originally. We in Jersey
are in favor of the amendment proposed by the committee; and
as a member of that committee, in connection with the others,
we gave it the most careful attention, for the purpose of doing
what we thought was for the greatest benefit of the Society.
That was our sole object. It was the attention given to it, not
for a day, nor for an hour, nor for a week, but the attention
given to it bj^ our honored chairman for months ; and fie gave
to it the best of his judgment and the utmost of his experience.
I hope that the amendment prciposcd by. the committee will
he passed. New Jersey, I said, is a conservative Society; it is
so conservative that it has kept its present President for ten
years;, and they threaten to keep him in otficc for the rest of his
natural life.
(Cries of question!)
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN: The question cannot be
put until the speakers have finished.
^IR. HANDY : We have gotten down close to the meat of
this question. We have gotten aw-ay from the beautiful rhetoric
about freeing ourselves, down to the meat of the question as
presented by Compatriot Murphy t'rom New Jersey.
Now, all that I ask and ail that the gentlemen who stand with
me ask, is that the compatriots know the real question and vote
according to their wishes. Take what the compatriot from Nev/
Jersey has said, and said with so much force and clearness and
dignity; add to that what our venerable and well beloved Com-
patriot Judge Whitehead has said, with regard to the customs
of the Society in New Jersey, that keeps its President-General
for ten years, and even for life. You come down to this, which
is the question before the Society : I'his is a movement to amend
our Constitution looking towards a permanent President-General
(cries of No! No!) It cannot mean anything else (cries of
No! No! and Question!) Can't you have patience with me for
two minutes? What becomes' of the argument made by Com-
patriot Murphy that, when you found a man with the proper
elements, it was best for the Society that you should keep him
there, unless this means a permanent President-General as soon
as you can find the. suitable m.an ? That is th.e real issue; and
when you come to vote, to pass through the teller, without any
. bitternes in the thing or unseemly contention, those who desire
a permanent President-General, or .one for a long series of
years, should vote in favor of the resolution; and those who
desire a shining succession of Presidents-General should vote
against the amendment. That is the issue; we need not cover it
up with words.
JL'DGE H.VNCOCK: This report 'has the unanimous con-
firmation of (he committee. The thought in our mind was this,
that a society based upon the principles of the Revolution, should
not take away its own libertier. (.Applause. I The gentleman

CllAri.AIN'-GEN'ERAL WARFUaJ); I think the question
was presented to us in the way that ni-.'ets e\a. 'ly the answer
that our Re\-oli;tion.iry History supplies to ns. Winn we cime,
uiion tile adoption of our Con-titution, to choose a I're-idenl of
these I'niied States, our Cemstitution put no llmitaHon up.'U his
re election. We had him there as our first and second President
o\ these I'liiteci States, and a ;_'rateful people were rea<ly o> c. ii
tiimi' him in office ns long ns he could he iiuUieed to koji it.
That spii it animated him which I believe animates the members
of, this Si'Ciety. When he thought he had served Ins country
long eiinu.di he declined the office. I believe it would be so with
the I're-id' Ills Clener.d of tb.is Society; having in mind the
memory of (jmrge Washington they would serve us an.i be will
ing to serve ii- as long as they deemed it for the Ixst interests
of the Society.
MR. HANDY; Our sires fought for freedom, while the
statutes standing on our books now, stand for all of us b.-ing
gagged. While that holds, 1 am told I cannot vf)te for wlmm
I please. Now, I hrdd myself at liberty to vote at all times f'jr
ll-.is man or for that man. aiii! not for perpetuating in C'fiice the
same man.
MR. B.^TI'lS (Michigan) ;Our friend from Delaware seems to
misapprehend the character and spirit of this organizati.jii. Let
me say that tliere never was a time when it was not safe to
trust this Congress to do its own business in its own way.
MR. HANDY: Then why was this proviso never before
adopted ill this Congress.
MR. BATES (Michigan) ; It was a mistake, and we recog-
nized it immediately after it was made; and we have been trying
for two years to correct that mistake. But I never could get
this Congress to a point where we could rectify it, and we have
been at it ever since. We saw the mistake then, and just as
soon as we should have the opportunity we proposed to remedy
it. Our institutions are based upon the proposition that al! politi-
cal power rests in the people. We have now come to the ques-
tion as to whether we shall have the opporcunity, whenever we
desire to make the choice, whether it is one man or another man
in the chair, to re-elect him on the basis of his fitness. Or
shall it be impossif)le for us to continue him? There is not any
question about this; it is efficiency we want, and when that
exists there canncit be any question as to the success and the
ultimate attainment of all the objects and purposes for which
this Society exists. I want to get back to the original Constitu-
tion and leave it free with me to exercise my choice in the
niattef as T desire.
(Cries of Question.)
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN; The Constitution re-
quires a two-thirds vote of those present. The qviestion now is
on the adoption of the amendment proposed by the committee,
GENERAL .ANDERSON: I rise to a question of privilege.
I ask that, under the authority of the Constitution, votes be
taken by States.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN: The point is made by
General Anderson tiiat the vote should be taken by State;.
That is not my interpretation of the Constitution. Secion 4
of the Constitution requires a vote by States, giving the delega-
tion from each State the right to cast the whole vote of tin-
State; but .Article ATII of the Constitution scenu to me to limit
the application of Section 4 of the preceding article, which says;
ARTICLE VIII.— AMENDMENTS.
This Constitution niaj' be altered or amended at any meeting
of the Congress of the Natie.nal Society, provided that sixty <.\-\y:,'
notice of the proposed alter.a'tions or amendments, which shall
first have been recommended by a State Society, shall be sent
by the Secretary-General to the President of each State Society.
.A vote of two-thirds of those present shall be necessary to their
adoption.
It is my judgment that a vole of two-thirds rf the members
lir<sent is ncee.-sary to carry this, and that the vote be not
taken b\- Stale:-.
GI-.XERAL AXDl.kSON: Section 4 of Article \TI reads as
follows:
Section. 4. Stale Societies shall be represented at nietiings
(4' the National Society only by members of their own State
Society, or by members of other State Societies who may be
designated by ihe regularly appointed delegates from such State
Society who may be present at any meeling of the National
Society; and the delegates representing any State Society, as
provided herein, shali be authovi/id to cast the entire vie to
which such Stale Society is entitled, each delegate or representa-
tive present being authorized to cast his proportionate vt.ite, or
fraction thereof.
! l-.nid that the Constitution by that section gives us a right to
vote "by Slates." This is the proposition: A State is repre-
sented here only by one delegate; you give them power to get
other delegates to represent them. I would like this Congress
to consider this important question. Let us consider th:it the
delegates from a single State cannot get enough delegates to
fill up a quota; their State would then be deprived of representa-
tion. Suppose the State has eight votes; they can only get two
alternates or substitutes in the Congress. '1 hen that Stale would
only have two votes instead of ei^ hi, as would happen if Massa-
chusetts only took four of its members to San Francisco to
rei)resent it. Then the State of Massachusetts, wlien it came
to vote in the Congress of San E'rancisco, would only have eight
or ten votes instead of thirty. I take it as important in this case
to allow us to vote by States. I repres\:nt the State of Chegon ;
the State of Oregon wants its vote; it has only five or six, but
it is entitled to them. It is a question of the liigh.est privilege,
and I hope that you will stand by your right.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN : h is my opinion that
.Article \TII creates an exception to tlie general rule laid down
in Section 4 of the Constitution. Article \T1I says that "a vote
of two-thirds of tlnise present shail be necesary to llieir adop-
ticm."
(Cries of Question.)
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN- The question is on the
adoption of the amendment to the sicliijii proposed. The dele-
gates will p!-.>a3e take their seats, and all in fa\or of th.c adop-
tion of the amendment will rise and remain standing until the
tellers liave countul them.
'Ihe vote was counted, with the following results:
For the amendment 119
Against the amendment 30
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN; The amendment is car-
ried.
MR. H.ANDY: I ask that the Chair call for those delegates
present to rise who have not voted, but w hi;i must he counted.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN; 1 think Mr. Handy's
point is well taken. Those delegates who have been present and
who ha\e not voted will please rise (non-votants risc>. There
are twelve members present who have not voted, but a twii-
thirds majority of those present have voted in favor of the
amendment; the amendment is therefore carried.'
COL. LOG.AN (Pittsburg) : Tiiere is another amendment
here to be vi.'ted on; Amendment to Article VIII. I move the
ad'jptiijn of the amendment which adds to the present amend-
ment, "or liy the Executive Coinmitlee of the National Society."
and which permits the Executive Committee to present amend-
ments.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN: Judge Hancock will
now present to you the amendment.
JUDGE H.VNCOCK; The article as it now stands reads as
folhwvs ;
We have added to this the words "or by a prii^r meeting of
the Congress, or by the Executive Committee of the Nation. il
Society." This Committee acts entirely during the interim of
the Congress, and should have the right to recommend. But
wiiile they shall have the right to recommend, any recommenda-
tions that they make shall be sent to the presidents of their dif-
ferent societies, so that the meniber.s of those ditlerent societies
shali have an opportunity to express their assent or dissent
through their represenf:iti\ es. The reas<Mi why \\ e did this was
that very few of the difficulties which arise under the Constitu-
tion ever come before the Slate societies; but they do come, as
you have seen to-day, before the Congress instead of the Exe-
.JU?^E. i(p2.

this American Mecca, with its hallowed shades, its sacred relics
and its inspiring- associations! Here are the silent woods '\i\
which Washington was accustomed to roam. Here are the
beautiful fields and garden he cultivated. Here are the stately
trees he planted. Here is the modest matision in which he li\'ed
with noblest simplicity. Here is the historic Potomac he loved
so well. Here is his sacred tomb, to which his countrymen may
always resort to gather fresh inspiration for the proper discharge
of the responsible duties of American citizenship. Where else
upon this continent can you find such memorials of the mighty
past? Where else can you find such associations to quicken the
pulse and inspire the hearts of the young with all those elevated
principles and lofty desires which make ambition virtue?
Of course every Son of the Am.erican Revolution is familiar
with the history of Mt. Vernon, but it may not be inappropriate,
perhaps, on an occasion like the present to recount briefly some
of its incidents. It was named by Lawrence Washington, the
half-brother of George W'ashington, in honor of Admiral Ver-
non of the British Navy, under whom I,awrence Washington
served in colonial days during the war against Spain. George
Washington inherited it from Lawrence Washington in 1753.
George Washington by his last will and testament devised it to
his nepiiew, Bu'tirod Vv'ashington. Bushrod Washington de-
vised it to his nephew, John A. Washington. John A. Washing-
ton devised it to Itis wife, Jane C. Washington. Jane C. W-'ash-
jngton devised it to her son, John A. Washington, who sold and
conveyed 202 acres of the original tract to the Mt. Verncin
Ladies' Association of the Union. It is proper to add that Jay
Gould and wife conveyed to the Association ati adjoining tract
of thirty-three and o;ic-half acres, which was a part of the cTig-
inal Mt. Vernon estate. Without transcending the proper limits
of an address like tliis, it would be impossible to trace in detail
the legislation of the General Assembly of Virginia relating to
Mt. Vernon. Suffice it to say that on the i;th of March, 1856,
an act was passed incorporating the Mt. Vernon Ladies' Associa-
tion of the Union. This act was amended on the igth of March,
1858, by the act which now constitutes the present charter of tiie
Association. It provided that the Mt. \'ernon Ladies' .\ssocia-
tion as heretofore organized shall be constituted a body politic
and corporate, and that it shall be lawful for the said Association
to purchase, hold and improve 200 acres of Mt. Vernon, includ-
ing the late tnansion, as well as the tomb of George Washington,
together with the garden-, grounds, wharf and landing now con-
structed on the Potomac River.
We have thus seen how ^ilt. Vernon was acquired and how it
is now held. How was it paid for? To Miss Anne P. Cuning-
ham, the first Regent of the Association, and a highly cultured
lady of South Carolina, belongs the honor of originating the idea
that Mt. \'ernon should be purchased, not by the general g.overn-
* ment, not by the State of Virginia, but by the voluntary contri-
butions of the. American people, and consecrated fore\-er as sa-
cred to the memory of the Father of his Country. Solitary and
alone she put tliis ball in motion. In December. 1833. from b.er
home in Laurens, South Carolina, sbe ma^'e her first appeal for
funds through the newspaper pre-^s over the title of "Southern
Matron" as her noiji dc plnuic. She labored .zealously and un-
ceasingly until her pious and patriotic r.birct w.-ts accompIi;lK_r|.
and the stipulated sum of ^JOO.mx), as the purcha-^e money, wis
rais'ed. In July, [S54, some of the most prominent ladies of
Richmond, Virginia, formed an associ.ition to raise money to
aid in the [ivi; eli;ise of Mt. Vernon by the State, but .at tiie
eariie:5t solicitation of Miss Cuningham ihe Richmond associ.iriuu
was organized into a central committee of the Union, which con-
tinued until the Mt. Vernon Ladies' .Associ itioii was incor-
porated by an act of the General Assembly of \'irginia, as before
staled.
In rendering honor to whom honor is due for originating and
carrying on to completion the great idea of purchasing and
dedicating Mt. Vernon as "The Nation's Pilgrim Shrine," it
would be unpardonable to omit honorable mention of Mrs. Anna
Cora Mowalt Ritchie, the first Vice-Regent of the Association;
of the ncwspai)er press throughout the country, which generously
lent its powerful aid ; of the members ot that Ancient and Hon-
orable Order of Free Masons, of which Washington was a con-
spicuous member; of the school children who responded to the
call with all the ardor and enthusiasm of ingenuous youth; of
our nifblc country\vomen who gave to the cause the highest ener-
gies ot their natures and the best affections o^ their hearts, and
ii'-t, though not least, to the Hon. Edward Everett, the gifted
orator of ^Massachusetts, who in a spirit of unselfish and disin-
terested patriotism that was truly refreshing contributed his
valu.able time and his brilliant talents for several years, without
any reward wTiatcver, except an approving conscience and the
he.-irtfelt gratitude of his admiring countrymen. Perhaps it is
n.it too much to say that, without the magnanamoiis assistAiice
rendered by Mr. Everett, the requisite at-nount for the purchase
of .Mt. Vernon would not have been realized by the Ladies'
.\ssociation. It may be truly said to be the crowning glory of
his brilliant and honorable career. For several years he devoted
himself to the service of tlie Ladies' Association, going up and
down through the land, from north to south and from east to
west, swaying vast audiences by his charming rhetoric, rnoving
the hearts of the people to their inmost depths, and refusing to
accept any part of the proceeds of his orations, not even reser\--
ing a sum sufficient to pay his necessary traveling expenses. All
honor to tbie noble and incorruptible patriot, whose name has-
tlius been inseparably connected with the name and fame of
W'ashington.
The Mt. Vernon Ladies' Association of the Union, in its cor-
porate capacity, now h'jldb the property under a trust to keep it
sacred to the memory of the illustrious dead. Under its con-
stitution and by-kuvs, its officers consist of a Regent, \'ice-
Rcgents, Secretary, Treasurer ami such subordinate officers as
may from time to time be appointed. A council composed of the
Regent and Vice-Regents meets here annually in May and adopts
the necessary measures for the proper management and control
of the property. As an evidence of their fidelity to the trust
committed to their hands, it is only necessary to pijint to the
mansion, the furniture, the t'jmb, the relics, the grounds, the
shrubs, the trees, the garden, the greenhouse and the fields. In
testimony of their skillful financiering and economic manage-
ment, attention is called to the fact that after paying $200,000, as
the purchase money, keeping the property in repair and making
many valuable improvements, they have, according to the last
annual report of their treasurer, $Si,i05.07 invested in securities
and held in cash. I know that I utter a sentiment that will
strike a responsive chord in the breasts of all who hear me when
I say that the Mt. Vernon Ladies' Association of the Union,
who have for so many years unselfishly and patriotically devoted
their time and energies, without any pecuniary compensation, to
the performance of this sacred trust, are entitled to receive the
everlasting gratitude, not only of every Son of the American
Revolution, but of every American patriot. WTiat a beautiful
idea that the home and tomb of W^ashington should be tenderly
cared for and preserved by his noble and patriotic country-
women! What a fitting tribute is thus paid by female purity
and loveliness to manhood's greatest and most glorious exem-
plar!
I shall not undertake on this occasion to pronounce a eulogy
upon the life and character of George Washington. Language
is altogether too poor to enable me to do justice to such an
exalted theme. You may search history in vain to find his
parellel. At the early age of sixteen, by appointment of Lord
Fairfax, he went forth into the wilderness of the West with a
surveyor's staff in his hands. At the age of i-iineteen. in prepar-
'ation for the French and Indian War,- he w:-is appointed a.iiutant
of the Virginia troops, with the rank of major. .Soon after at-
taining the age of twenty-one he wa~ appointed by Lieutenant-
Governor Dinwiddle as commander of the northern military dis-
trict of \'irginia. He served m Braddoclc's disastrous campaign,
and in the hour of defeat exlubiteii such coolness, courage and
iudilfcrence to danger that a colonial minister e-if the gi-ispel in a
sern-.on declared his belief that he had been preserved to be the
savior of his country. While occupied at Mt. Vernon in his

m J mil.. 1775, he addressed himself to the difl'ieidt task of organ-
'\/l\fj. the army, perfecting its discipline and obtaining animiini-
(11 n and militaiy supplies. Jn March, ^7jC'>. he drove the British
out of Ko^ton. Without dvselling iqxin the military operations

cient to say that his masterly retreat througli the Jerseys, hij
admirable conduct at Trenton, Princeton, MiMrisiown and Ger-
iii.inlown; llie nnshaken fortitude with which lie met the clamors
of ihc people and the disgraceful cabals for his overthrow at
Walley Forge during the winters of 1777 and 177S, where his
great lieart was made to bleed on account of the sufferings of
hi^ men. \^liich he had no power to alleviate; his vigorous pur-
suit of Clinton across the Jerseys towards New York, and the
final campaign conceived by himself, which culminated in the
enni[i!cle ^urleI■lder of tlic Eail Cornwallis with his entire army
at \'orktown on the iQtli of October, 17S1 — all these have ren-
dered his name immortal and placed him, by tin- universal ver-
dict nf ail mankind, in the foremost rank of the great niilitar\-
eliieftam-. who by their genius and skill have attracted the adtnir-
atl^n of the world. He was not oni,v great as a warrior, but he
was pre-eminently great as a statesman. When the Federal
Coin-eiition met at Philadelphia in May, 17S7, to frame the
Constitution, he attended as a delegate from Virginia, and was
unanimously cho-'ii to preside over its deliberations. He to'k
110 active part in tlie debates, but his guiding hand was felt in
the adoption of that wonderful instrument, pronounced by Mr.
Gladstone to be the greatest work ever struck off at a given
tiuii; by the brain and purpose of man. In 17S9 he was unani-
mously elected as the first President of the United States, and
again unanimously re-elected in 1792. Pie could again easily have
been chosen for another term, and even for life, but in turning
aside from the tempting and alluring offers of power and place
and in \o!untarily returning to the society of his beloved wife
and the peaceful pursuits of agriculture, he gave the tinishing
touch to his complete and well-rounded career, and vindicated
his title to the proud position which has by common conicnt
been arsigncd to him: "First in war, first in peace, and fir.-t in
the hearts of his ri:aintr\'!iien !''
Permit me to say tb.at; it will be an unhappy day for the Re-
public when the American people shall cease to emulate tl;e
example and revere the name of George Wasiiington. Amid all
the disturbing iitduences of party and the seltish struggles for
place, there is nothing so well calculated to allay the strife of
discord aiid rekindle the flame of patriotism as the example of
.-Vmerica's greatest and noblest son. The eloquent Lamartine,
when he so fearlessly confronted the red flag of Communism in
Paris many years ago, was heard to exclaim, "What France needs
is a Wa.-hington !" What was the secret of his power as shown
in his most prominent characteristics? He was the soul of
honor and of truth, as illustrated by a well-known incident in
his early childhood. He was modest, as is shown by the remark
of the Speaker of the \'irginia House of Burgesses on a cele-
brated occasion, that his modesty was only equaled by his merit.
He had a chivalrous regard for women, and was heard to say at
bredcricksburg, when the hall was given in his honor after th.e
surrender of Cornwallis at Yorkiosvn. that if he had accom-
plished anything in his lift, he owed it all to hi^ nioilier. He
was unsrlfish, as is demonstrated by the fact that he voluntarily
i;e,>igned to Congress the plenary commission he had received
from them, and retired to the peaceful shades of his beloved
home. He was anima<ed by an ardent love of country and an
unshaken faith in the final triumph of her righteous cause. In
the darkest hours of the ivevolution. when he was beset by foes
^\ ithin and foes without, and his army w-as alinost destroyed by
privation and hunger, Ik? exclaimed : "Leave me but a banner to
p'ace upon the mountains of West Augusta and I will rally
around nie men who will lift our bleeding country from the d'lst
■md Set her free!"
He was an humble soldier of the Cross, and was not ashamed
'I the Gospel of Christ. At all times and in all places, in pubiic
■inil m private, in the Cabinet and in the field, he constantly
rrcogi;i/-,'ij his dependence upon the Omnipotent Ruler of tli..
I niverse, who controls the destinies of nations and of men. In
the contemplation of this exalted character the poet has beauti-
fully sung:
(ircat W ashingti.in is ii'-ar. What praise hij due?
What title shall he liav.? She paused and said,
j\ot one; his name ab.iiif strikes every title dead."
In returning from this historic sput, around which such a
halo of gloiy has beiii shed, and over which perhaps the beatif'ud
spirit of the iinmorl.al h.'ro and patriot is hovering to-day, let us
carry with lis fresh inspiration fi_'r the .proper discliarge of the
pressing duties of the hour. Let us t.ike to heart the lessons of
self-abnegatii ill aiui di~iiiteresl(.d patriotism taught us by his
ilhislrious example, L.rt us miew our vows of allegiance to the
constitutional I'nion created by our f.ithers, and resolve tb.at by
the help of .Mniighly God we will tr.insmit to our cliildr<n, as
they traii-iiiiticd to theirs, the noblest inb.eritance that belongs

Three clieers were gi\en for Judge Goode.
DR. XOl'.LF D. L.VRXKR: We shall now have the pleasure
of listening to an addrrss tiy Mrs. L)unald McLean, Rt-gent of
the New York City Chapter (if the Daughters of tlie American
Revolution, on behalf of Mrs. Sarah Powtnan Van Ness, Regent
of Lexington Chajiter, ]). A. R.. vi Massachusetts.
■ .MRS. DON.ALU McLEAN: Mr. President, Sons of the
American Revolution and my sister confreres — if I may use such
a phrase — and those of us wdio are here on this occasion simply
in our rightful and proudest positions of wives, sisters or friends
of distinguished men. No woman can have a greater privilege
than to rise to prominence through such affiliation. Do not be-
lieve a word you hear as to the spirit of the "new woman" in
this connection; but a woman is proud to be allied with dis-
tinguished men and to lia\e her standing from such alliance.
Before I proceed to a word upon the subject which is men-
tioned upon the pri.igramnie, I appeal to this audience to join
with me in this sentiment. We all know that in classic days,
v\hen an oration had caused the heart to throb, the mind to
lighten, and the soul to quicken, a laurel wreath was given the
great orator. But these are present days; and this is America.
I say, let us give to this orator who has just spoken to us, and
who is himself such a magnificent type of what we would all
aspire to be in x\merican citizenship — an "American Beauty."
(Applause.)
I will confide to you that Judge Goode aitd I have always this
sentimental exchange when we speak together in public.
And now it is but a iransitun from tiiiwcrs to trees, and I am
going to ask the President, the officers, and this luiiience to
exercise the highest attribute of humanity, that is, the exercise
of faith — the substance of things hoped for biit not seen. For
although we are about to plant the tree, we have literally no tree
to plant. I find that absolute candor, in failing immediately upon
the mercies of niy fellow men and women, is always the best
way to gain their sympathies. Mrs. Sarah Bowinan Van Ness,
whose generous and patriotic mind first conceived the idea of
sending to Mount Vernon from the blood-baked fields of Lex-
ington a tree, not only in remembrance of that great day in
1775, but typical as it were of the elm under wdiich Washington
stood in Massachusetts, raising his sword at the beginning of
that marvelous career which ends heie, now so peaceful, so
serenely resting, ever lulled to sleep by the soft and silvery lap-
ping of his ow^n beloved Potomac — that woman, living in Massa-
chusetts, desired to send that elm here that it might convey to
the South the knowledge that, as in those Revolutionary days,
the North and the South are as one (applause) ; but a bereave-
ment in her family, and consequent illness, has prevented tlie tree
reaching us to-day. We have but just learned this fact. The
site is laid for it, and when we receive the permission of 'be
trustees it is to be planteii on the right there of the tomb t in-
dicating), ever to grow in verdant sweetness. In her name. I
present that tree to-day ; and I ask you : Do you not, as in a
vision, see that sapling elm, yes, r.nd a thousand others, stretch-
ing forth into a great forest of trees; the nKinones of the mag-
nificent period that tree perpetuates; that early morning in
Lexington where the hoofs of Paul Revi.re's horse shock out
echoes which have never died away, when, marching back to
Massachusetts, this coutitry's destinies were assured? Growing

THURSDAY EVENLNG SESSION.
REPORT OF THE COMMI TTEE ON LEGISLATION.
Read by Assistant Secretary Fisher.
On motion of Col. Griffith, the above report was directed to
be placed on file and printed.
REPORT OF THE NATION. \L COMMITTEE ON
REVOLUTIONARY MONUMENTS.
Read by Assistant Secretary Fislier.
Secretary-General National Society S. A. R., Compatriot:
Referring to your esteemed favor of April 17th, I would say in
reply that the Coiumittee on Re\olutionary Monuments have
made no progress and have held no meetings or conferences
since the last annual meetiiig of the National Congress, because
the one object which the cotnmiltee had in view was tRe building
of a national monument in the City of Washington, something
after the plan outlined in my report to Congress last year.
A special committee was appointed to take that matter in
charge, and I suppose will present a well matured plan for the
erection of a national monument to commemorate the heroic
deeds of the men of '76. I think all of our etTorts should he
concentrated upon building this one memorial and we should
leave all the other matters of this kind until we have prevailed
upon the Congress of the United States to appropriate a suih-
cient fund to build a tTiagnitK-cnt monument, that may be classed
among tlie greatest memorials built on this earth.
()ur e.iinmitlee wruiid be very glad to coi.perale with the
-peci.al uunmittee, but have nut a^ yet had a conlereijee wilh
tluin.
In view of the facts as set forth .above, 1 do not see any
fuld cu' operation for thi- cominiitee.
UerlK-et fully submit ted,
II. S. Gkeei.ev,
Cliainnan Co))ui.:llcc on Re: ohili'iiary M onumrnts.
COL. GlvIlTTTlF: 1 iia\e been for many years a member of
that conimittee, but I h.ave never been invited to attend one of
it; meetings; and with .all due respect tri my dear friend Gen-
eral Grteley I do not approve of the idea of the erection of
that Memorial Hall in Washington City. Why? tJur Society
has laid d'jwn in its e(>ii-,iiiuiion its objects and the \'orl: tint
we are to do. Annaig tlM-e is that of commemorating the deeds
of the heroes of th.e Rewilntionary War, the great battles, and
the like.
Now. I Iiave another jirope)sition to make to you, and I
promi^edi Judge WhUeheail and a lun.iber of oihtrs that I v.ould
make this statement to you to-night; el-e 1 wculd not trespass
u|)on your time. .At Long Island, buried in the sand- of the
shore, are the lioncs of eleven thousand heroes who died in th.it
hell upon e.arth, the iJrili.di luilks in New York harbor, d li it
is the wnrk that we are or,i.;ani/ed for. This National Society,
ci ini[),itriots, has never yet done one single act to commemorate
this e\ent. Let us do something. .V e.immitlee has been in
exi'-teiiee for years and never accomplished anything'. W h.en
you know of what a little Stale body goes on to do, what cannot
the whole body, joining hand in hand, do in commemiiration of
the eleven thousand .nid over, who represent all of the States? —
prisoners from all. It is vc'ur duty; do it.
I am in favor, Mr. President, of appointing a committee from
this national organization to join with the Empire State of New
Y.irk, and with the Daughters of the .American Revolution, to
erect a meintimetit, as we ought to do, if we remember wdiom we
represent, to the martyrs upon Long Island, to those long suf-
fering souls wdio in those hulks from day to day Jooked for the
ri-ing of the sun for some relief. We must not let that thing
rest ; let lis build that tomb of the martyrs. Let us nia.ke it the
work of this national organization; it represents all the States
of your old thirteen colonies. There is your work. I move
that a Committee of thirteen be appointed to co-operate with the
Eni[)ire Stale Society and with the I'. A. R. in that State, to
erect at the tomb of the martyrs, over the bones of those poor
souls, s<:)me memorial. God knows that in His mercy, after all
their sutTerings, they must rest in His Paradise somew-here.

REPORT OF THE RECRUITING AND -LOOKOUT
COMMITTEE.
GENFR.AL \TNCENT: This report is in possession of one
of the officers and I cannot get at it this evening, but as these
reports will be printed I move tint this one be passed by its
title.
Motion carried.
Compatriots: The undersigned, in behalf of your National
Recruiting and Lookout Committee, has the honor to submit for
your information and considerati(in its secc'tid annual report.
The plan, looking to accessions of membership [pages i(36-
17J, National '^'ear Book, 1001] has led to favorable results,
which will appear through the annual report of the Registrar-
General. For the future our enlarged field stands for cultivation
by the Empire State Society. It has been well said that the
contribution by the Comptroller of New York, the Plonorable
James A. Roberts, to our knowdedge of Revolutionary atTairs
cannot be overestimated. In the report of General Knox — in the
past accepted as official and correct — New York State \va7 cred-
ited with 17,781 men wdio served in the War of th.e American
Revolution; but now we have, thr.jugh the discovery, arrange-
ment and classitication by Comptroller Roberts, the names — all
indexed — of 51,922 men, an increase of about -'5,000, thus placing
the Empire State second only ti- Massachusetts in lite number of
men furnished in the struggle for independence. Last Septem-
ber the recruiting comrnittee of the Empire State Society issued
a manual or hand-book to aid an mcrcased membership of that
Society, and in February, 1902. it was announced, by the Chair-
man of the Recruiting Committee, that the Society was "having
a large accession of recruits, and of a very desirable sort."
The interest manifested by New York and i'ennsylvania. also
by Tennessee, Delaware, the l.)istrict e^f Columbia and oth.er
State societies, cannot fi'l to produce i;rard results.

ber the necessary fifteen can be had to organize under Article
IV., Sclion 2, of the Constitution of the National Society. 'Ilie
recent presence in the Philippines of our past President-General
Breckinridge, and his energetic efforts there and subsequently,
have given a most healthful impetus to the contemplated Society.

F'RANCE.
Connected with the effort to "bung to light all records which
may be of use in establishing * * + the French veterans — officers
and enlisted men — who aided the American cause of Independ-
ence" [page 171, National Year Book, 1901] ; it is gratifying to
report that the lists were completed last October from the rec-
ords in the respective departments of the French Army and
Navy and the documents placed in the h.aids of our past Presi-
dent-General Porter, now Ambassador to F'r.ance, for transmis-
sion to the Ministry of F'oreign AfTairs; and the belief has been
expressed that the Ministry will cause them to be published in
book form. Deep interest has been manifested in the result,
and the Registrar of the French Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution has had many letters frc'in persons who
believe they are descendants from, the French defenders of the
American cause. The Registrar has said: * * * "It is roughly
estimated that there are ten to twelve thousand names on the
marine list, and a much greater number on tlie army rolls."
The valuable paper this day received by the Congress, from
the distinguislicd compatriot and Registrar of the Society in
FVance, affords further' interesting details relative to this sub-
ject. Tnu.M.^S M. \'l.\'.ENT.

MR. GUTHRIE: . If I could add to the remarks of our
friend from Maryland .it v.'onld be the proudest moment of my
life. I cannot do it, but I miust say a word to endorse what he
has said as to the duty of this Society. It is to build a monu-
ment to the martyrs of the Revolution. W'e, as Sons of tlie
American Revolution, could do nothing more glorious than to
erect such a monument. I wish I could say it in the eloquent
language that my friend from ^Maryland knows so well h.^w to
use. They are born that way in Maryland, and they cannot
help themselves. They talk, but they get things done. As you
will all remember, there is no Society of the S. .A.. K. that has
d'lrie for our cause whit theMaryland Society has done. ( I\.p-
pJause.) They have put up a monument upon the battlefield at
Long Island, not alone from Maryland pride, not from personal
glory, but, I believe, from a pure patriotic spirit. They put up
a inonnuieiil some years a,L'o th.it was a credit to the Maiyluid
Society. La^t October they unveiled in the CJly of BaliimoK.- a
monument which most of you liave no doubt si .,11 ; it is a work of
art and was the labor of in.iiiy years of our dear old friend Col.
GriiViih, to whom .dlthe honor :ind glory is due for the cicciioii
of that glorious nii.>iiimient. I .Vpplause.) It co>t a great deal
of money; but that m.d-;r> no difference to us now. Lit u-^ a^ a

COL. CiRlM-ilH: lla> the President-General fully consid-
ered his decision before making it'' This is offered as a sub-
stitute for that report, which will, of course, be printed.
MR. BUNKER: I rise to a point of order, and suggest that
the first thing to do is to receive the report and order it printed.
It seems to me that it would be discourteous not to do th:it ;
and \shile I am thorout^hly and heartily in favor of the othi-r
movement, and \\ill second it to the best of tny ability, I really
think tlial as an organization it would be better for us lo let
the regular order proceed. 1 mi:ive that that report be received
anil tiled. Moti<.'n seconded.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN; I don't think the point
of order is well taken. I think tliat Col. GriHith's moti'Ti to sub-
stitute his motion fcit the repiirt of the committee is in order;
the house can do with it then wh.al it chooses.
COL. GRIFFITH: I want it distinctly understood that under
no circumstanecs do I wish to rellect in any way upon the gentle-
men conipo.-;ing that Committee. Now, sir, to clear the ground,
I move that the report be received and printed ; but the resolu-
tion contained therein I otTer as a substitute to my original mo-
tion.
MR. WARREN: In seconding the motion of Col. Grilnih I
was not aware of the report of the committee being present; it
is perfectly right to proceed in th.e order suggested.
PRESIDENT-G}-;NERAL LOGAN: rhe report of the com-
mittee has been received. Col. Griflith moves that it bo placed
on file and printed; but that, in place of the resolution recom-
m.ended by the report, a resolution be adi;'pted that a commiitee
of thirteen be appointed to co-operate with the Empire State
Society in their efforts to erect a moriument to the martyrs of
the prison ships.
MR. WARREN: I understand that Compatriot Grifhth's
motion was that a committee of thirteen be appointed on the
ground that from the thirteen original States there were those
who sutTered and gave up heir lives in those prison ships in Long
Island. Now, as I understand that. Compatriot Grithth stands
ready to antond it so that a committee be app'Mnted from every
State Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN: Do you accept that
amendment. Col. Griftith?
COL. GRIFFITH : Yes.
PRESIDENT-Gli.VERAL LOGAN: The question, then, is
upon the motion of Col. Gritfith to place on file and print the
report, and in place of the resolution contained therein to appoint
a committee of one from each State Society to co-operate with
the Empire State Society and the D. A. R., in building a monu-
ment to th.e martyrs of the prison ships.
MR. BAKER (N. FI.) : I think we ought first to vote on the
question of receiving and printing the report; then we shall
.have cleared the ground for the otlicr question to come up.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN: .\ division of the mo-
tion is called for; do you consent to that. Col. Griffith?
COL. GRIFFITH: Yes.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN: Then the motion will
be considered as divided. The first question will be the printing
of the report.
.MR. WTLLLVM DE CAINDRY: There has been pending m
Congress for sever.il sessions past a bill looking to ;i proper
recognition of the services of the victims of the prison ships in
Long Island. In consideration of that fai:t, I am inc'iU'd to
thmk, on retlection. that the action proposed here should be
modified from what has already been suggested. It seems to

MR. CHANDLER (New Haven): As I understand it, this

lution in General Greely's report. Will someone kindly read
that resolution, so that we may know the nature of the resolu-
tion which is coiitainexl in th;it re!)ort.
(Secretary-General reads the resolution contained in General
Greely's report.)
I fail to see any resolution in tliat report; that is the reason
I called the matter up, as I really could not reiriem'ier Uiat there
was any resolution there. While I am heartily in sympathy with
the erecting of this monument for the heroic dead of those
prison ships, it seems a litle out of place to ofTer this as a sub-
stitute for a resolution that docs not e.xist. The report of that
committee has been received and ordered printed ; and this comes
up as a nev/ matter.

REPORT OF THE CO.M.MITTEE ON NATIOWI
PARKS, by Gtucra! Anderson.
On motion, duly seconded, the report was approved and ord-
ered placed on i"!e.
Secretary-General National Society, Sons of the .American
Revolution; Compatriot: I have received but few additional re-
ports from the State Snciet:es m relation to national parks com-
memorative of events ui .mr War of Independence. The Dela-
ware Society reports that it has placed a memorial tablet at
Cooch's Bridge, and endorses the application of Pennsylvania in
favor of a national park at Yaliey Forge.
Nevv Hamp-hire reconunends for that
Fort William and Mary, n-ar New Castle, New'^IIampshire
ihe Empire State Society, through the Chairman of its .a.K
Committee, now recommends Crown Point as the best place for
a iiation.il nunmnal p.irk which can possibly be bought.
Kansas, through its Park Committee, favors Saratoga first
ite of
Park
and Valley Forge as a second choice. It favors asking Govern-
ment aid.
Wisconsin li.as imlhin!.', to suggest or propose.
Connecticut has the subject under ad\isement.
Tiie Hav.-aiian Society f.ivois society effort ra'l-.er than apply-
ing for Government aid.
Illinois favors the general scheme of having Memorial Revo-
lutionary Parks. It claims association in the Revoluliouary
struggle through the campaien of Cl.irk within her horiKrs, and
through the participation in that heroic exploit of Illinois pion-
eers. Lastly the Illinois conmiittee reconunends that tablets be
{)Ut up on all battlefields or places which have Revc.ilutionary
associations until such time as titles can be obtained to the loca-
tions for park purposes.
Ohio adheres to its recommendation of Marietia as a proper
location for a memorial park, and claims that Indian wars were
continued within its borders as a sequence to the War of Inde-
pendence by l-iritish intuience until the War of 1812.
.■\s a result <)f my correspondence ( for our coniiniiiee has had
no meetings), 1 am led to believe that our Stati' societies can
best folknv the example of Massachusetts, which has di^tm-
guishcd the sites of all battles or other notable events in onr
\\'ar of Independence within her borders by parks or mcmori;ii
tablets or buildings. There can be 110 doubt of the propriety of
appealing to the general Government for aid, yet there is but
little prospect, in my opinion, of obtaining such aid.
It would therefore seem advisable for each Slate Society te)
depend upon its own efforts. Co-operative etToris might i'e
secured fiom all the societies for securing the ownership of
V'alley Forge and Saratoga. As the patriotic women of the
country have purchased Mt. \'ernon, it would seem that our
National Society might purchase the scene of the most heroic
self-sacrifice recorded in history.
There should be, unqutstionably, a national park at Y'orktown.
This proposition, as I understand, has been laid before Con-
gress by the Virginia representatives in Congress. This is prob-
ably one of ten similar propositions the House Military Com-
mittee has under consideration. '
I beg leave to suggest, in conclusion, that if the question of
establishing Revolutionary Mem'jiia! Parks is relegated to our
State societies, they will probably take a more active interest in
the subject than they do under present conditions.
Very respectfully,
TnoM.\s M. Anderson.
ASSISTANT-SECRETARY FISHER: I have a communi-
cation here which emanates from the Se'iis of the Revolution of
the Pennsylvania Society.
Hon. Walter S. Loc.\n.
President-General Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution. 27 William Street. New York.
l)t:.\R Sir: At a meeting of the Board of Managers of this
Society, held November 12, 1901, I was instructed to communi-
cate to your Society the fact that the Pennsylvania Society of
Sons of the Revolution proposes to erect within the Stale of
Pennsylvania an equestrian statue of Major-General Anthony
Wayne, having already a fund of over $6,000 fnr the purpose,
and respectfully invites your assistance for the accomplishment
of this desirable object.
Respectfully, E. A. We.wer,
St-CKt-lary.
-MR. BROWN (Pa.): As representing the Pennsylvania So-
ciety, I would like to have this Congress take some action upon
this subject; and yet it is perhaps one that it wou'd be rather
difhcult for us to take positive action upon at present. I there-
fore move that this communication be received and responded
to, and that the matter be referred to the Executive Committee
of tlie National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution,
to act upon and devise any means by which this Society can
properly join with the Sons of the Revolution in erecting this
monument to General Anthony Wayne, whom we all recogniz-e
as one of the heroes of the Revolutionary War.
Mr. BL\ NN (Pa.): I received a communication identical
witli the one just read from Mr. Weaver, of the Sons of the
Revolution in Philadelphia. We have but a young and small
chapter in Philadelp.hia, and I think it was rather a graceful act
on the part of the Sons of the Revolution of Pennsylvania to
address us as they did in that manner. I think it would be well,
if possible, for the Sons of the American Revolution to take
some action in the matter. It is simply a matter of courtesy,
even if we do not arrive at any conclusion. I thmk at all events
it would help us along in the State if wc need any help.
MR. UNDERWOOD (Wis.) : I move to amend by referring
the matter to a special committee to be appointed by the Presi-
, JHNF., 1902

tional Society on JKevolntionary Moninncnts; we have already
created another Special Committee to secure, if possihic, a monu-
ment to the pri..on--;hip' marlyrs on I.oivj Island. This coin-
inunicntion has been n.ceived from the Siate Society of Penn-
sylvania, and it seems to me that if the Pennsylvania Society
is willing, it would he pioper to refer the matter either to the
State Society of Peni'sylvania or to this Standing Committee of
our Nation. d S'.'Cii ly, a ctiinmiitce for this special purpose. Re-
ferring it to the I'^xecutive Committee of this Society would, in
my opinion, take the m.itter out of the hands of the Standing
Commiliee, who'-e husiiuss it should he to look after that. This
cominitlee is composed, or was for the cuircnt year, of a large
number of distinguished members of this Society from all over
the Union, and the President is Edwin_ S. Greely, of New Haven,
Conn., and the Secretary, Hon. Ebcn'ezer J; Plill, of Connecti-
cut. Therefore, if a substitute is in order, I would move that
this whole matter be referred to the Pennsylvania Society, to
co-operate with the Standing Committee of our National Society
on Revolutionary Monuments.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL I.OGAN: The proposer of the
amemhnent accepts ihe amendiiicul. Tiie question is therefore
on Mr. Richardson's amendment to refer the matter to the
Standing Committee instead of the Execiuive Commiitee.
MR. BROWN (Pa.): I am perfectly willing to accept that
amendment if it will carry with it some rcspe^nse of the Sons
of the American Revokitiiin to this cCitTimuiiication, because it
has been addressed to the Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN :
reply?
MR. BROWN (Pa.) : Yes.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN :
motion is tliat the Secretary shall form?
nowledge receipt of the letter, and that the matter be referred to
the regular Standing Committee of the Society on National Monu-
ments.
JUDGE HANCOCK: I don't know exactly on what part of
this motion I speak. There is a historj- to our relations with
the National Society of the Sons of the Revolution which is
prtibahly familiar to a great many of our member>. You
all recollect the propositions which were made between the two
societies of Cincinnati, and which failed through the non-action
of the Sons of the Revolution. Now, I know as a personal fact
that a great part of that opposition came from the Sons of the
Revolution — came from the Pennsylvania Society of the Sons of
the Revolution in Philadelphia — who had monopolized about
four-tlfths of those who were qualified to go into our Society.
There has been a great revolution, according to my information,
and it cijtnes from some of the prominent niumbers of that So-
ciety; a great revolution in the sentiment of those people. We
have done our duty; we have made all the overtures that could
be made (a voice: Too much). We all regret a division of the
kind that exists, that we should have two societies of the de-
scendants of Revolutionary forefathers. We ought to be in a
receptive condition of otTers from them. Now, then, you make
this Monument Conunittee, and it has no power to act; you put
this in the hands of the Executive Committee, and they do have
power to act, and you should give them power to act. There-
fore I am very much in favor of putting it in the hands of the
Executive Committee, because they represent the whole Society.
The Monument Committee can do nothing except report at the
ne.\t Congress; the Executive Committee, if given authority,
can act immediately; and this action should be taken in response
to this generous invitation, and should be taken at once. There-
fore I would suggest that my friend Mr. Brown insist upon his
original motion, that it; be referred to the Executive Committee
with power to act. Of course they must exercise some discre-
tion, but they should be the power, the real power in this So-
ciety. If it goes into their hands with power to act, you may
expect something from it. (Applau'-e.)
MR. GL'THRIE: It has been said that a house divided against
itself cannot stand, and the societies of Pennsylvania have often
quarreled between themselves. J am sorry to ditTer with my
esteemed friend Juilge Hancock in one particular, and that is
this: This is a question that does not belong to the National
Society of the S. A. R. ; it belongs to Pennsylvania, and we
claim the ricdit in our ."-^(ale of taking care of our own alfairs.
ASSISTANT-SIXREIARY ITSlil'l:: It :-eein-; to uu- ili.u

it pleases v.ilh regard to lliii; but we ha\e iheir connunni.-a! 1. 'ii
before us as :i National .Suciety, and the proposition is to make
some reply to it.
A DliLEGATE: I nio\e, as a substilulc to the original reso-
lution, that the communication be refrrred to the Executive Com-
mittee of the Naticind .Society vcilhout any recommi ml I'ii^n.
PRESIDENT-Cll'.NKRAL Lr>GAN : I understand that Jiidi;e
Hancock objected to the acceptance of Mr. Richardson'.- .untiuh
nient. Couseciuenlly the original motion camiot be wilhdiawii
uiiiler objection; that is, the motion that ha.-> been made.
JUDGE FIANCOCK: 1 second the motion which i- to r^fer
it to the Executi\e Committee, not the motion of Mr. Ivichardson
to recommend it to the Standing Connnittec.
MR. RICHARDSON: My object in making the niwsion was
to settle the matter ri:',dily and speedily and rightl\'. So far as
tlie matter of the re!:iti(iii,> brtween the Sons of the Aniericm
Revolution and the Soiks c>f the Revolution referred to by judge
Hancock is crjncenu-d, 1 feel I hat that question should not come
up in this discussion. It seems to me that it is no discourtesy
to the l\nn -yh'ania Society of the .Sons of the American Revo-
lution if we Courteously acknowledge the rcccpit of their letter
and refer it to a St.inding Committee created by this body to
consider just such questiuus. I think I kiuiw a iittle, perhaps — ■
if you will pariion a pergonal allusion — of the relations between
the two patriotic societies, and c>i the history of tlie movement
for union of those societies. But it seems to me that that qucs-
ion should not arise here at all ; that w^c should, in a courteous
manner, acknowledge the receipt of this letter and rejer it to the
proper conmiittee; and the thing is done. For that reason I
made the motion to sulistitute or to amend.
MR. BRO\N'N : I am si^rry this is taking up so mueh time.
It seems to me that it is a \-ery simple matter. The Sons of
the Revolution have sent this communication to the Natioii:d
Society; they ha\'e sent a similar communication to the Penn-
sylvania State Society, wdiich that Society will take care of
itself. They now send it to the Natitnia! Society, and we ta.ke it
as an act of courtesy on their part wdiich we are to resp'iinii 10
in a courteous manner, as has been suggested. l''urtherni':'re, it
seems to me a worthy object; for, as I understand it, they pro-
pose to put up a monument wdiich will be a worthy memorial
of General Wayne; and I think our Se^ciety should co-operate
with them in their efforts to have this monument erected. Any
action that vjc can take, either as the Pennsylvania State Society
or as the National Society, I think we ought to take. The ques-
tion is, what action can we take in the erection of this monu-
ment, and what does this Congress think about it. If this Con-
gress feels like doing anything of the sort, I don't see that it
makes much difference to what Committee it is referred, the
Committee on Monuments or the Executi\-e Committee, except
that the Executive Committee has power to act. and coidd, per-
haps, if they thought best, set something in motion.
I understand that we are now acting upi^n the amendment. If
the Congress thinks best to refer it to a committee that has
power to act, namely, the Executive Commiitee, then let it go
to the Executive Commiitee.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN: The question is upon
the amendment. The ori-.^inal motion is that the Secretary c^iir-
ieously acknowledged the letter that the matter be referred
to the Executive Committee. 'Ihe amendment is that the Sec-
retary acknowledge the letter and that the matter be referred to
the Standing Committee. The que-tic'ii, then, is on the amend-
ment. All in fav'jr of i!ie amendment signify the same by saying
aye.
The amendment is lost.
The question is now li'i'^n thie original motion.
MR. STOCKETT: I oftAr. as a substitute, that th.
munication to the National body be referred for action
com-
to the
Conmiittee of
Pennsylvania Socie'y instead of the Executive
this Nation.al Society.
.\ DELEG.-\TE : This being a nuestie>n of piilicv. it should be
referred to the Executi\e Cominiiuc. whieii is supposed to di-
rect th.e policy of this Society. Th'-ref'Te 1 am entirely in l.ivor
of the orieinal motion that the matter be referred to the Execu-
tive Comniutee.

May 14, 1901, President-General Logan directed the attentton
of the National Committee on Publication to a plan of Com-
patriot L. II. Cornish for tlie publication of the National Register.
On May 17th and 2Sth conferences were held in New \ ork be-

also histories of the va:'inus St.ate societies. \\"i\\ thor.j'.'-:iily
illustrate the work with half-tone engravings of the \ari' us
monuments erected and historic sites preserved through the ef-

satisfactory in esety way to the entire membership of the order
and an honor to the National Society, without the Committee
assuming any obligations whatever, or witluuu one cent of risk

already been accomplished will- be ii^ed as a nucleus fiom which
to work. .An appeal will be made to the entire membership for
subscriptions to the work either through the various State socie-
ties or direct to the individual member. Will use discretion so

.At the coiiclusioi; ijf the re.uiing of this p:\per a ve'lume of the
new National Register of the Societ>- was presented to Presideiit-
Cieneral Logan.
PRb-.SIUEN r-Gl'.XERAL LOGAN: I accept this Register
on behalf C'f the .Society with great pleasure, and il shall be
deposited in the archl\es of the: .Se'^iety.
MR. BATES (Mich.,): I move that the Report of tlie Com-
mittee on i'ublicatioii be tiled and that the Ceiinniiltee be eiis-
charged.
COL. GRIITTTII; I move to amend tb.it motion to include
a vole of thanks to the gentlemen of that committee.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN: It is moved and sec-
onded that the report of the connnittee he receiveil, placed on
tile and printed, and that the committee be discharged with the
thanks of this association for tlie spleu'lid work that they b.a\e
de'iie.
MR. BATES (Mich.) : And that the funher thanks of this
Congress be extended to Zslr. Cornish, who has done the eniire
work in tlie matter,
MR. WARREN (N. Y.) : I think it is due to the publishers
of tliis Register to say that the copy wiiich iias been sent to us
is not yet perfect, and that -when the copies are properly bound
they will be in much better condition. I think Mr. Cornish will
agree with that.
GENERAL BRECKINRIDGE: I am only going to suggest
that others have co-operated in the preparation of this work. 1
think our Registrar is responsible for a part of the work.
A DELEG.\TE : This book qiay be \ cry good ; it may he a
work of value; but do not let us begin thanki.ng people uiuil we
have seen it.
GENERAL BRECKINRIDGE: As I understand it, without
wishing to interfere with the gentleman's vote, we all have the
feeling that a right good waurk has been accomplished; that the
officers of this Society have expressed their opinion on it: and
that ihat opinion had been submitted to this Congress for its
present action. If these statements are true, there never have
been more faithful othcers doing more admirable work.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN; The motion is to re-
ceive and place on file and print tlie repi^rt of the Publication
Committee and discharge it, and that the thanks of the Society
be given to the Committee, to the Registrar-General f'.r his
work in the matter, and to the publisher. Mr, L. H. Cornish.
Motion carried.
REPORT OF TPIE NATIONAL PRESS COM.MITTEE,
read by Assistant-Secretary Fisher:
The Press Com.nn'ttee believe its work during the past year
to have been one of value to the Society in that, through the
efforts of its members, the meetings of State and subordinant so-
cieties have generally been given desired publicity in th.e press,
and through such publications the aims and motives of the or-
ganization have been evidenced to the general public in a favor-
able manner. I'nifcjrm anxiety to such end has been apparent
in the actions of all of its members who have aimed to such to
the President-General, through the medium of the Chairman,
such notices. This Committee has lost during the year a mem-
lier dearly beloved by all wdio have ever had tlie pleasure and the
honor of his ac(iuaintance. Coitipatrieit Lucitis B. Wing, its
Ohio State member, has died. He him=elf was the son vi a
Revolittionary soldier, a banker at XTnvark. Oiiio. and a past
President of the Ohio Society. S. .A. R. Ili^ was a =weet di-po-
sitie^i, such as few pos.-ess. The tw.' gener:itions of his father
and himself cosered a period of nearly 150 years.

I he Nation. il Ccininiilee on Advancement, Sons of the Anieri-
(.111 Revolution, has sought to stimulate interest in the Society
.ind its work throughout the country, and to bring to the atten-
tion of the people generally, the bcncficicnt purpose for which
the Society was founded. Bflieving that the scope of its opera-
lion should not be limited exclusively to those already compa-
triots of the Society, or to those eligible for membership in the
Society, the committee has endeavored to place the purposes and
objects of the Society before the general public in such a ^^•ay
as to secure the endorsement and hearty co-operation of all
thinking" men, who recognize in the work of the Society a valu-
able aid in the endeavor to bring to a proper understanding of
our institutions no only the thousands annually coming to our
shores, but also those of our citizens who, in the rush of these
days, with their changing conditions, are apt to lose sight of
the principles for which our forefathers fought. And the com-
mittee IS glad to report that the evidence is convincing that the
.people at large are taking an active interest in the work of the
Society and are lending their aid in the accomplishment of its
objects, thus assisting in the propogation of that healtliy
American sentiment so necessary to the preservation of our
f rt e institutions.
Within the Society the committee has to report the general
condition of the State societies as excellent. It was with re-
gret, however that the committee noticed an apparent lack of
interest in some of the southern societies, and etiort; v.-ere made
to revive interest in them, notably in Virginia and West Vir-
ginia, and the Committee has reason to believe that its
work was not without the accomplishment of some good. Espe-
cially in tiie State of Virginia, that grand old commonwealth,
rich in historic memories of Revolutonary days, has the com-
mittee endeavored to inspire additional interest in the Society,
and the Chairman of this cTrnmittee. who is a citi'-^n of that
State, has made personal efforts among his people with that end
in view. On the 2jnd of February, IQ02, he attended the annual
nieeting of the Society at Richmond, Virginia, and was much
gratified at the large attendance present at the meeting and the
niterest displa}-ed by the m.embers in the exercises of that occa-
sion, and he has reason to hope, and believes, that the interest
will continue to increase until the State Society of Virginia will
become, as it should be, one of the most active in the country.
W bile it is the duty of each State Society to increase its quota
of members by the addi,tion of those within the jurisdiction of
each Society who are eligible to membership and acceptable as
nienibers, and while the most acti\e effort in this direction should
be made, yet the committee is of the opinion, and therefore
recommends, that an earnest effort should be made by each State
Si'cietv to reach those who arc not eligible to membership and to
>'ill to their attention the \vork of the Society and secure their
"""-operation in the same. In this way alone can the lofty pur-
poses of the Society be fully accomplished, and by this co-opera-
■^tion the most lasting re::.u!ts may be attained.

the number of about sixty flag ce.inmittees. It is not necessary

Association, with other member- cf mher tkii; committce>, at-
tended and \'.ere nmst coiirleou'-ly and kindly heard, and most
pleasant assvirances of action gncn, and v, e are yet Ivipini; that
before the present session of Congress adjourns we -luill have a
federal law upon the subject.
Those who aid r.s in this mailer ought loyally to ad':.pt and u<c
in their States the form of Kgislaiue art appri.vrd by the Am.cr-
ican Flag Association. Let no one call it dra-lic, inr it i. not
drastic, but is compreliensive. It reaches imt only the de-ecrating
uses to which the flag itself it put. bvil reaches the use of jhe
flag as a means of adveitiscment m any form, by pictures or by
printing or otherwise.
Let us hri[)e that the day is not far distant when the flag Ca
our country will be protected from desecrating uses in all the
States of the I'nion. Let us also hope that the process of patri-
otic education goini; on in tlie public schools will brMig up. to
take our places, a more patriotic generation, who will not be so
filled with the spirit of comnicrciali-m of this a;'0 .-is i'> t'liget
the reverence due to the symbol of our country and all that is
good for v.hich it stands.
We are at times met with obstacles that surprise and humili-
ate, and make us wonder of wdiat stiilt some men are made;
that in the commercialism of this day that spirit should get hold
of citizens of our great countrv and obscure and crush and
strangle all that is virtuous and good and patriotic and loyal, and
should bring into defeat in our legislative balls our brethren and
compatriots who never succumbed to defeat in the battles of the
country. For four years we have asked at the hands of the
Legislature of New Jersey a flag law which would place that
State in the ne^ble column of the States already natncd, and for
four years we have met there with defeat. Conunercialisni has
beaten us, and men who love the dollar more than the land th.U
gave them birth and sustains them, and gives them ilie right of
citizenship, have succeeded in sustaining their low-born desire to
prostitute our flacr to advertising, are yet in the ascendant.
Four years the lower house has passed the law we ask, and for
four years the bill has each year been consigned b)- a Seiitte
Coniniittee to tlie pigeon hole or the waste basket. This year
the efforts of our compatriot, now the Governor of that State, of
compatriots of the New Jersey Society, and of companions of
the I.oyal Legion ancj veterans of the Grand Army have all been
ineiTectnal. ■ Does New Jersey want to materiali.^e the old and
ought-to-be-obsolcte slander that New Jersey is no part Cif the
United States? But we will nc^•er give it up, and we shall con-
tinue to besiege the halls of the Legislature of New Jersey until
she joins the column.
In \'irginia we have for a second time failed in securing what
we desire. The Secretary of the Virginia Society, Sons of the
American Revolution, with prominent men who served their
country in t!ie Spanish- American War, and among them men
who also ftillowed the Confederate tlag in the Civil \\'ar, took
interest in this matter and sought from the Virginia Legislature
what we a=kcd; but alas! a political race question occupied so
much attention that the flag had no potency or power to make
itself felt. Let it be put upon the hearts and consciences of our
Virginia comp.atriots lo take this matter in hand at its next Legis-
lature, and demonstrate for \'irginia. the mother of Presidents,
that the flag honored, yes, created by. Washington, her greatest
citizen, the fatlu r of our country, shall be recognized and hon-
ored there as he honored it. and that, too, by a statute which
shall defend it from desecration.
Kentuck-y, t.^o, was too busy jn other matters to give us at-
tention.
^fany of our legislatures are bi-annual. Next year the larg-
est number of such will be in Session. Will not all our com-
patriots residing in such States constitute themselves committees
and take char-e of these matters, and with all the zeal, encr.fry
and patriot', -tn which should possess every one of our com-
pariots. )oin. hand- and hearts and etTorts. and secure the 'etris-
lation, an<l each see to it that his, own State joins the column.
We carnt-tly r. command tint every State Society in which
no flag committee \\\\< y> t been appointed adopt a resolution in
the language of the resolution appointing this committee, and
recited earlier in this rcj)or1, and thus apjioint a flag committee,
and direct that flag conmiittee to associate itself -uitlr the .\iui ri-
c.m Mag Associaion.
We desire to thank the Sons of the American kevolution re-
siding in Rhode Island, Oh.io and M.iryland for iheir v.'lu.dile
aid in the work of tb.e committr'-. and espcciillv we reci'rd our
thanks to Hon. Fidwin Wartield, President of the .Maryland So-
ciety, Sons of the American Revobition, fer his nin>t valuable
and effectual aid, generositj- and sympathy t^iven, and w hich has
resulted in our obtaining the coveted legislatme in that State.
We must not omit our thanks to Mrs, Chns. W, Lippett, Stale
Regent in Rhode Island of the D. A. R., for aid, v.ithout which.
ue sb.ould have failed in that State.
It will not do to close this report without calling your atlen-
tion lo the increasing interest in cclebratin,^ Flag D.iy, the 14th
day of June. This day has come to be regarded in some re pects
as a national holiday. In some Stales school exeicises are re-
quired toward its celebration. In many of the States it is cele-
br.ilcvl in schools by local regiilation.s of sch.ool oflicers. We
earnestly exhort our citizens to join in makitig the celebration of
I'lag Day this year a great e\ent. Let us see that the si-ir> .and
stripes, witli all that the}' mean, s]i,all on June 14, 1902. greet
the rising and setting of the sun fr'im every church edifice and
public school, and also frcm every private and pulWic biiilding
in the land. Let there also be in all our schools commemorative
exercises telling the story eif the flag, and ih.e country, and the
glory of the country, of which it is the symbol, that young
hearts m.iy begin lo swell with that pride and patrie.tic seiuiment
without which they caniiijt be good citizens, nor true and I'jyal

CfLVPLAIN-GENERAL WARFIELD: Opening prayer.
Almighty God, who docs according to Thy pleasure in the
midst of the inhabitants of the earth, we rejoice that we have
been permitted to gather here and to behold these beautiful
scenes that witness to what Thou hast wrought for this our great
nation. We thank Thee that we have been permitted to visit
the scenes associated with the memory of him \vho was the great
father of his countr>-. We rejoice in all the recollections which
have reminded us that Thou, who dost hold all things in the liol-
low of Thy hand, without whose will not a sparrow can fall to
the earth, hast superiittendcd and permitted the growth and de-
\elopment of this great land of ours. We rejoice to feel that
this is a great Christian common-.vealth and that the namr-s of
the men who are hallowed here, the names of Washington and
Lincoln, who are associated with the great heroes iit the de-
velopment of our countrv-, arc the names of men of revere-nt
faith in Thee.
We pray Thy blessing upon this Congress; we pray Thy bless-
ing upon the election of officers to represent us in the year that
is to come. We pray that as we go away from this place we may
carry w-ith us inspiring memories of our meeting here; of the
sc<;nes that we have witnessed; of the actions in which we have
participated. And may the spirit of our great Revolution be in
the heart of every member of the Society ; and may we each do
something in tlie year to come to promote those higher interets
of our land which shall continue to reflect the memory of the
past. May we be faithful in all things cotnmitted to us; and
may Thy manifest blessing be upon us all. We ask it in the
name of Ilim who is our Lord and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON FARMER RESCtLUTION.
REGISTRAR-GENERAL CLARK: All thnt concerns this
report has been incorporated in the report of the Regi>trar-
General.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN: New business is now in
order.
GENERAL ANDERSON: When our most illustrious com-
patriot was stricken down by the hand of tbe a-s-is-in. there
w.is a universal outburst of indignation over th.is foul crime, and
it was generally proposed to suppress anarchy by the rule and
the rope and the policeman's "billy." But since we have had
time for more temperate reflection, it has occurred to all of 115.
no doubt, that prevention would be better than th'S rough-and-

WHERP-AS, Work of this nature is in full accord with the
purposes of this organization ; therefore,
RESOLVED, That a conunittee of five be appointed by the
I'rc.-idetit-Gcneral at hi> ea-ly convenience to consider some
practical means by which the foreign clement and others in our
CLumtry, particularly those who have formed associations which
secm to be inimical to our institutions, may be informed con-
cerning distinctively American principles in order that they may
j.cconic patriotic citizens of the land of their adoption,
JUDGE HANCOCK; I second that resolution.
GENERAL ANDERSON: Any motion for administrative
piuposcs that requires much argument is not worth having at all,
i'ut I would say this briclly: that my idea was, in framing this
ni'">tion, that this element to which we refer — the Hungarian,
Italian and Polish element — all these peoples have been liberty-
loving peoples, and have had some glorious episodes in their
riwn history; and the question is. whether we cannot m-ike them
an element of strength instead of weakness and danger to our
institutions.
Briefly, I have in mind this — but of course I cannot antici-
pate what a committee appointed will do, except to appeal to '
them in some such manner: To have tracts translated into their
l.aiigunges and distributed among them, or to have speeches made
ir, them in their own language, so that it v,-ill be brought home to
them what American principles are; and also to teach them what
t.hcir rights are; that it is not necessary in our country to re-
sort to violence ; that they can appeal . to the processes of law
with confidence, and can receive justice there. With these few
remarks, I submit this motion to your consideration.
JUDGE H.\NCOCK: In seconding this motion, I tliink it
best to go back ;:o the original Constitution of this Society.
Probably no one here knows so intimately that Constitution as
does my friend Judge Whitehead, but in that Constitution one
cf the principles set forth — I cannot now give the e.xact language
— is that we should educate ourselves, our descendants and our
citizens of the country at large in the principles upon which the
Revolution is founded. I do not believe that foreigners are the
only ones who need this education; I think there are plenty of
others who have come down from our ancestors who have for-
gotten "the leading principles for which the Revolutionary War
v;as fought. Now, then, that being so, I wish to state why I
came into this institution. It was not because I cared to have
niy genealogy set forth; it was not because I wanted to be a
member of a society of this kind for no other purpose than to
meet once a year; but simply because I believed it to be, as it is
stated in the Constitution of the Society, a means by which we
C'-'uld sfiread development and educate our people, some of whom
have forgotten the great principles of our Government; that we
niight educate them into the principles of our Government and
bring them to the ideal simplicity of our Cotutitution and of
i^ur Declaration of Independence. That is the reason why I
entered this Society.
It seems to me that in some respects we have fallen behind
♦h:5 high ideal of our object; that we have made possibly too
niiich use of it for the b'^nefits of our inheritance; that possibly
\'-e have made too much use of it in a social way. Now, a society
hke this cannot live; 1 say it annot live unless it has a definite
purpose and a definite work on hand ; and I have yet to see any-
tning that equals that which General Anderson has set before
}cu to-day. Therefore I for one am heartily in favor of the
"iduption of this resolution and the appointment of the com-
iTi'ltee it suggests.
REV. RUFUS CLARK: I am very much interested in this
rr. I'dMtion. I come fr':>m a part of the country very much domi-
'i It' d hy the foreign clement, and it has become :i great question
'"h us ;,s to whether freedom is altogether a blessing; whether
"^•-■'dom has not its dangers. Mr. Bryce, in his ".American Com-
'•■oiuvealth," taking the 'jtandpoint of a foreigner, has dwelt at
great length upon this American experiment. He has dr;i'.sn a
beautiful and graphic picture of this great country fiihnj, iq)
rapidly with those who have been trained under ft'rei.;!! des-
piitisnis; a very slow progress of aisimiiali'.jn ; a very raj. id pi"-
gress of physical development; things that belong to the culti-
vation of the soil; and the unlimiied franchise granted li. tliese
foreigners. Mr. P.ryce raises the question as to what priu'-iple
America can rely lipon, in view of the fact of an almost utter
absence of tradition, of stability in the past, \shat principle this
American republic has as a guarantee of its perpetuity.
During the past there have been those on our own s^i!,
together with those of our foreign critics, who have raised this
question. Now, those of us who are here have Seen certain cr-
rective influences; the success of Republican schools, for instance.
We have seen the growing power of the nev.'spaper and its frre-
dom in the expansion of the English language, the solidifying
influence of this one common speech. We te-ach others to recog-
nize, aiiil We recognize-, with gratification, the power r^f the
church; but aside from that it docs seem to me that there- must
be some organization to set forih, if possilde, in some di-tinct
way, statements touching the original principles upon whicii this
American Republic was founded as a land C't freedom; that tliose
principles are adequate to meet not only the conditions lA our
own time, but also the possible conditions after this century.
And from out" of this Society — a society which stands fur the
recognition of the influciice of those who gave us freedom — it
seems most appropriate that we should be the ones to set forth
in sonic formulated, definite and public way, the recognition of
the fact that wc have not only received this inestimable privilege
of freedom, but that v/e have the means within our reach of
perpetuating it and protecting it for the future.
There are despotisms other than the despotism of ihe d'jllar;
and those despotisms which are to arise in the future are to
be corrected hy commending ourselves, not to those \\hr< are
the heads of the departemnts cf the nation, but to the heads of
those to whom we have intrusted the government, to the lower
classes, the foreigner who is naturalized here. He is the one
we have to educate, and I know of no company of patric'tic citi-
zens better qualified to do this than a Committee such as it sug-
gested to appoint here.
Now, you have the soldier, with his enlarged vision in dealing
with the application of the principles of our national government
to other people and to those of another hemisphere. He cnmes
here with his fresh exprience and th.is larger vision. You have
the politician, who has to do with the affairs of State, and v.iih
industrial and social problems; and you have also tl;e ethical
feature — the priest- — who looks at it from another standpoint.
We have these different standpoints from which to view this
great problem, beset with its innumerable difSculties, and from
which each of us can take a different point of view. You have
the opportunity of calling before the American people some dis-
tinct, definite principles which belong to the fundamental organi-
zation of this country, which it seems to me the tim.e is U'^w
ripe to set forth, that are adequate for the permianency not i-inly
of the government of our land but of these new lands which we
have acquired. We believe with the poet:
The lily must fade, its petals decay, '
The rose from its stalk must sever.
But the stars remain fnrever and ever;
and we believe therefore in the permanence of the institutions
which are grounded upon this principle of freedom. (Aonia-.-.^e).
DELEGATE FROM HAWAII: When the Society was t^rst
founded in Plawaii, I did not coimect myself with it; the matter
of studying the genealogy of my ancestors was not specially
interesting. My father during his declining years became much
interested in that subject, and said: "William, why don't vou
take more interest in this matter?" I said: "i am afraid. Father,
if I go far enough back, I will come to a cross-bar stick, an
upright tree, and a rope.'' He was very much grieved, but finally
produced enough intluence to induce me to join this Societv':
and I connected myself with it, because of the orinciple^ s'.;t
forth in that short clause of the proposed amendment placed
before us yesterday, to inculcate patriotism, true patriotism.
Had it been in order yesterday, I sh.ould have f-clt disposed 10
propose that the position of that clause be changed and made
more prominent.
\\ lien the Gfiitral's resolution was read this morning. I am
su'c tliaf it strui'k a responsive ihriil in ihc heart of each nir;n-
ber; for, after all. I hL-lieve 've all feel that the most imp. .rt.-i'-t
duty of his Society i; the inculcation of true patriotism, spri-.-id-
ing it abroad throughout the world, but beginning in o-.ir own
country.
SPIRIT OF '76.
JUNE, 1902.
I would like to say, as ro doubt you have probably all heard,
that in Hawaii \vc have had a j^ood many revolutions in the past.
Wh'-n the peril was ininiinent, ^\l!eu tlie Queen determined to
overthrow what ue have of a sar.bhuice of ■ Con^lii'.'.tional Gov-
crnnient, it took the comriMinity uniirrparcd and unready. But
spoittaneously the people came to-etlur; and wh.en the Com-
niitlce began its labois, we louked around and foimd that those
who are "now th.e Sous of the American Revolution led that
movement. (Applause.) We had a sessie.n hi the afternoon,
and in the evening we met again to consider what could be done
to oppose the tyrannical endf^avor of the Queen. One of our
members had been sent out to ascertain wb.at could be done in
the way of armed resistance. He en me in and reported to Mr.
'I'hurstun, who was our Chairman, and said: "Mr. Thurston,
I find we can get just 68 rifles to back us up against the hun-
dreds in the hand? of the Queen and those who arc backing^ her
in this endeavor." Mr. Thurston, and all v ho vv-cre with him,
said: "That is enough; now, we v/ill go ahead." (Applause.)
And it proved to be enough. To-day, owing to the efforts of the
S. A. R. and the assistance of patriots in this country, Hawaii
is an integral part of the United States of America, for which
we thank God. (Applause.)
We, perhaps more tlian you, fee! the importance of inculcating
the principles of true Americanism in Hawaii. Hawaii stands at
the extreme A\'cst, the entrepot, the gate of this great country.
There we mu.st receive the great sweeping tide from the West
of Oriental nations, and it lies with us fir-t of all to teach th.e
principles of patriotism and of true Democracy. And th.at, gen-
tlemen, is s.-imething that appeals to us; and we trust that this
resolution will be adopted, and that this Society will head the
movement to teach true Americansm to all the nations of the
earth, (.'\pplausc.)
Your Congress — the Congress of our Country — when it adopted
a territorial Act for Hawaii, overthre\y what we believed proper
safeguards for the elective franchise; and the elective franchise
was then given 10 a people who were not entirely futed to re-
ceive it. We are now enduring the results of that, and with us
it is of the uttnost importance that something should be done;
that an organized effort should be made to teach that people of a
new country the real principles of Americanism. Slowly, but
very slowly, they are learning; but I believe wdien that people,
the Hawaiians, can rely upon and thoroughly understand what
Americanism means, they will swing into line, and Hawaii will
eventually prove to be a useful as w'ell as ornamental part of this
great country. I trust the resolution of General Anderson will
be adopted. (Applause.)
CHAPLAIN-GENERAL WARFIELD : _ General _ Anderson
has requested m.e to say just a word in this connection, and it
is with great pleasure that I do so. Our Compatriot who has
just spoken to us has referred to what seems to me to be a very
illuminating thought in this connection. He says that he was
not an.\iou3 to trace back his genealogj' lest he should come to
that point in it where some one of his ancestors had suffered as
a malefactor. Everything depends upon the point of view we
look at it. As a minister of the gospel I stand here to-day as
the representative of one wdio died as a rrialefactor that we might
have liberty, freedom from sin, and all those influences which
have gone to lift up men. The sacrifice that that man m.ade
on Calvar>', his willingness to bear the shame of the
cross, makes us proud to bear the reproach of the Cross.
Now, I have right in my immediate neighborhood a member of
our Society who is proud to trace his pedigree back to a man
who died upon the gallows. And why? Because it was worth
while for Nathan Hale to die on the gallows. (Applause.)
This is exactly the point that is presented to us in this ques-
tion. We have millions of men who have come to this country
seeking liberty and freedom. We turn back the pages of our
history to that day when John WTnthrop, the first Governor of
Massachusetts Bay, was tried before the Court for having exer-
cised the authority that was given to him with more vigor than
seemed to.be wise. He made on that occasion that famous little
speech of his, as it is known to after generations, in which he
pointed out that the liberty which they had come to America to
seek was not a liberty to do wrong but a liberty to do r'^'iit; and
then went on to say that there were two principles thai must
ever be associned: Liberty and authority; that these two prin-
ciples can never be separated, and that we must be pr'.pared to
stand for these tilings not only at the sacrifice of our property,
but, if need be, of '.ur lives. No\v, it is th's princijiic of liberty
with authority— nnf license but lilierty — the Ii'nerty to do right,
that we need to instruct our whole people in: and one of the
forces which we are using today, and which I \vculd '.ike to
see encourag'd and invoked by this Society, is that of the free
lecture courses in some of our cities. I have been connected with
such a movement in New York and Philadelphia, and it is
simply mnrvelous the ignorance we discover on the part of tliose
who are about to e>:crcise the suffrage of our own natirinality.
For instance, I have an examination paper which was handed
in at the end of my course rif six lectures on the Devclopnicnt
of the United Stales, in which I tried to inculcate this spirit; I
hid a paper handed in not long ago in answer to the question:
''What was the principal cause of the French Revolution?" The
answer was: "When the Pih^rims catne over in the cabin of the
Mayflower, they got together and drew up an agreement, which
they called a charter, and as soon as they landed at Plymoiuh
Rock, they immediately tried to put this into effect, which led to
the distress of the British Goveniment, and was the cause ef
the French Revolution." This ignorance of the essential prin-
ciples of our government is what this Society should do its ut-
mo-^t to relieve. Education is the basis of sound administration
of law, and I believe much can be done in this line. I heartily
second General Anderson's resolution.
MR. B.-\RNARD (Of Md.) : I regard this resolution as one
of the most important that has come before this Society. Our
fathers gave us the Declaration of Independence, and they then
fought to perpetuate that Declaration of Independence. They
arc dead and gone, and they have left us their Sons ; the prin-
ciples of American Independence are menaced, and it is up to the
.S. A. R. — if you will pardon me for a slang expr^^ssion — to act
on this thing. I m.ove you, therefore,. Mr. President, that we
have a rising vote on this resolution.
I\IR. BRIGGS (Tex.) : I think fifty too small on 3 Committee
of that kind. What we want on such a committee as that is the
interest of every State in this Union, and every territory and
every part of the country which is included in the glorious United
States. We v.Miit on it the President of every State Society in
this country. It is essential for us to have that spirit inculcated
in the minds of the youth throughout this country, and to have
it done as quickly as possible. I assume thus Committee is going
to have power to act as well as to recommicnd ; and the result,
if it is spread and broadened sufficiently, will be to replace the
necessity for this Flag Legislation. We shall not have to en-
force patriotism and reverence for the Flag by law. It should
be from the love and the spirit of tlie founders of this country,
and the principles which they ^tcod for, that should make us
revere this Flag. I therefore move, gentlemen, as an amend-
ment, if it is acceptable to the mover of the original motion, that
the President of each State Society of this organization be in-
cluded in that Committee.
MR. DENNIS (R. I.) : If that is to prevail, this Society
would resolve itself into a Committee of the Whole. It would
be better for the general Society to appoint its Commititee of
Five, and to recoinmend that the State Societies appoint their
Committees of three, one of whom, perhaps, should be the Presi-
dent of each Committee ex officio. Then we can get into line
and work out in each State our own salvation, and report to the
General Committee, who ha\-e supervision of the whole. It
seems to me that that would simplify the attainment of the ob-
ject sought by General Anderson's resolution.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN: Do you insist, upon
your amendment, Mr. Briggs?
MR. BRIGGS: No, sir.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL LOGAN: Then all in favor of
the resolution will signify the same by a rising vote.

We were all dcli.ehted to hear, the
iTcetinys from the Society in Fr.mce;
:iih1 it was equally pratifying to know that through tlie tfTorts
of General Breckinridge, as representing this Society, a society
of a similar character had -been organized at Manila. Now, to
-ihuw the good feeling to those societies in the distant parts of
the world, I de,-ire to offer ihis resolution:
RESOLVED. That the greetings and encouragement of this
Congress be cabled to the societies in the Orient atid France, and
that the President-General be requested to send this message.
(-Motion carried.)
JUDGE WHITEHEAD: I offer the following resolution, as
tei which I desire to say a few words. A few years ago, an asso-
ci.ition of some ladies and gentlemen was formed in our State,
having in \ ie\v the erection of a monununt on the Battlefield of
Princeton. A small sum of money has been raised, and has
nccunuilated interest, which is at the command of that associa-
tiiui. That Association seemed to die, but lately it has been
resuscitated under the auspices of Governor Franklin Murphy;
our Legislature, at its last session, appropriating $15,000 for the
purposes of this .-\^.sociation, provided that it would raise the
■^atne amount. That amount will be raided by the Association,
as you may depend upon it when Franl:!in Murphy leads. For
tiie $,'<o,ooo a bill has been introduced into Congress for a like
sum to aid us in the building of this monument, and these reso-
lutions which I have offered to you this morning are to that end.
I hope that this Convention will give us a unanimous vote on
this question.
Some historians insist upon it that the Battle of Princeton
was the decisive battle of the Revolutionary War. In that opin-
ion I do not concur. In my opinion, the skirmish — it can hard'y
be called a battle — at Trenton, was the decisive battle of tiie
War. A few days afterwards, however, the Battle of Princeton
followed; and that, in connection witli the Battle of Trenton,
led this country on to victory fromi that* moment. The Battle of
Princeton was one of those events which, following the trail of
the two battles of Trenton, led to the results which were obtained
in 17S2, which, rallying the dismayed people of this country,
cheered their hearts and led the Congress of the United States
t'"" appoint General Washington as dictator; and from that
ninnKnt the end was secure.
I a=k of you a umnimous vote upon this resolution.
RESOLVED, That in the judgment of this Convention, com-
posed of delegates from the State Societies of the Sons of the
.\merican Revolution, is eminently appropriate that the Congress
of the United States should aid the people of New Jersey with
their effort to commemorate the battle of Princeton, by th.e
erection of a suitable monument. That that battle where Wash-
''■gton perilled his life in rallying his dismayed troops and led
'h-in from retreat to victory when that other gallant Virginian
General Mercer was wounded to his death, so important in the
r' Milts of the American Nation, deserves an enduring recogni-
'■■n at the hands of the representatives of the people whose
.rcodon' is so materially aided in securing.
_ RESOLl'ED, That this Convention respectfully urce upon the
'"•'uate and Representatives in Congress assembled the passage
■ ; the bill before the National Legislature, appropriating a sum
' t money in aid of the enterprise now inaugurated for the build-
'•'"'^J of a monument on the battlefield of Princeton, and that a

GENERAL APPM;rON: I would like, on a
privilege, to make a blatement. .Massachusetts has
interested in erecting, on Dorchester Heights, v.hcre
won our early victr^ry .-iiid saved our city without injury, a beau-
tiful memorial costing upwaids of ..VjOOOo, and it wa-, dedicated
on March 13th last. Il is a marble building and an observatory
combined, easy tif acee-s, and it preserves that height from being
wrested from the city in any v/ay. It i,3 there marking and pro-
tecting that spot for all time. CApplausc.)
_MR. WARNER: A resolution was adopted last year in
Pittsburgh to erect a nvmorial to the men who were instrumental
• in founding this_ Republic. Two gentlemen from each of the
States and Territorial Societies were appointed on that Com-
mittee, and I Iiad the hnnor to be appointed as its Ch.iirman.
I immediately sought Scn.ator Fairbanks, who was Chairman
of the Senate Committee on Public Buildings and pre--cnted the
matter to him. I h:irl several conferences with him, and be
with others; but so f;.r nothing definite has resulted except that
he is willing to aid in this project in any way possible. As you
know., the Daughters of the Revolution are seeking to establish
for themselves a Continental Hall here.. At my "instance, Mr.
Perry, representative from J.faryland, introduced in Coneress,
at its last Session, a bill appropriating $.''00,000 for the est.a'j'i-h-
mcnt of this memorial in this city. This was referred to the
House Committee on Libra cies, and has not yet received favor-
able action. No meeting of our Committee has been h^ld during
the past year, owing to the remoteness of its members and be-
cause I did not think that there was any occasion for it. I sug-
gest that this Committee be continu.ed, c>r a ncnv one appointed,
as ^you deem proper, and that we pass this resolution again
calling the ^attention of Congress to the matter. You have
inHuence with your representatives that can largely stimulate
and foster this enterprise. When they come to this seat of legis-
lation at the National Capital, although they are constantly "re-
minded of it, they pass it into oblivion unless they are stimulated
by the constituents who have sent titem here; and I hope you vrill
aid and develop the patriotism which already exists in the bosoms
of your representatives and impress upon them the fact that
although this city is studded with beautiful memorials, yet to
the men who founded this Republic there is not one of' d'efnite
character. I therefore move this resolution.
RESOLVED, That the Congress of the United States be and
is again urged to provide for the erection at the National Cap-
ital, of an appropriate monument to the deeds of valor and self-
sacrifice of the heroes of the Ametican Revolution.
GEN^ERAL ERECF.EXRIDGE : I move that the Committee
be continued.
(Motion carried unanimously.)
MR. W.'VRNER: I desire to present the followitig petition:
RESOLVED. That the Congress of the Sons of the American
Revolution urge upon the Senate and House of Representatives
ill Congress assembled, such early and favorable action upon the
bill now before that hnnorable body, providing for the construc-
tion of a Bridee from the National Capital to the National
Cemetery at Arlington, as a memorial to' American patriotism
as \yill provide for the laying of the corner stone of that structure
during the 2fnh National Encampment of the Grand .Army of
the Republic in October next.
On motion, duly seconded and carried, the petition v/as ordered
placed on file.
A DELEGATE: I make a motion tha^ a Committee, consist-
ing of General_ Breck-inridGfe and Mr. Nobie D Lamer, be ap-
pointed to confer with our most eminent and illustrious com-
patriot, the President of the Lfnitcd States, and see if some hour
can he fixed when we may pay our respects to him at the White
Hou=e. If It could be done to-morrow, I think it would be very
■fitting--it probably could r.ot be arranged for to-day. The Presi-
dent of the United States is our mo:t iilustrious compatriot: he
h.onors this Con-rc^s by me-elin- v.-hb us at tlie Banouet to-tiijlit;
and we can do little less than to pay our respects to him, as the
Chief Executive of this Nation, at tiie White Hou^^c.

ELECTION 01- OFFICERS, j

JUDGE WHITEHEAD: I move that we now proceed to |
the election of officers. |
(i\Iotion carried.) |
T^IR. J. NOBLE STOCKETT (Md.): I desire to offer the |
following resolution: 5
Be it Resolved: That this Congress approves the efforts of 'i
the Historiaii-Gcncral to secure from the State Societies full i
and authoritative accounts of all special exercises held by such i
societies on the erection and unveiling of monuments or tablets, \
with photographs of the same, the marking of historic sites, bat- j
tie-fields or graves of Revolutionary soldiers, or the observance i
of special celebrations as to Revolutionary matters, to th.e cud i
that all such information may be collected and preserved by the 1
Historian-General to enable him to compile a monumental and i
tablet history of the Revolution, together with other historical J
matter. j
And that this Congress does request and urge upon the Ids- 1
torians of the different State Societies the necessity of making \
complete and prompt responses to the official requests of the |
Historian-General for all such information as the same may j
from time to time be acquired, and to make reports on or before ',
April 1st preceding said annual meeting. i
Adopted by the National Congress held April 30, 1902, at \
Washington, D. C. |
(Motion carried unanimously.) |
MR. RICHARDSON (Ohio).: I am going to make a solemn |
statement. I yield to no man in my admiration of that majcstir j
gift of oratory v/hich a higher Pov.'er has so generously poured ]
upon every member of this Sociely. But there is a limit to all |
things; and while it may be a very unpopular motion to make, j
I want to move you that the nominating speeches to which v.'c I
are about to listen be limited to three minutes. J
(Motion carried.) j
COL. GRIFFITH: :\Ir. President-General, Compatriots: S
Within the past three months there has been sent to each of the 3
officers of this national organization, to each of the Presidents j
of the State bodies, a book, and to the Secretary of each Society I
an express package of the same for distribution. The book con- i
taincd extracts showing the v.'ork of the Maryland Society during I
the last 12 years, and a compilation showing in part the great I
record of "The Maryland Line" in the Revolutionary War. ]
I have received a large number of letters from compatriots in 1
all sections of the country that assure me the book has been read j
with interest, and it is not necessary to refer further to its con- 1
tents. The Maryland Society has requested me to say to you |
to-day that it has waited for 13 years for such recognition of the |
great deeds of its heroes in the days of the Revolution as tlicy j
and the noble old State has been entitled to, and, feeling that
the time has come, tlic Society has instructed me to piare in
nomination one of its members for the ottice of President-
General.
Ihe nomination has been unsought by him and is the unani-
' mous selection of the State Society.. His high position in ibe
business world, his well-known qualities of heart and hand, his
experience as the presiding officer of the Senate of iSIaryland, all
fit him as the executive of this national body.
Compatriots, you are on the soil from which sprang the
bayonets of the Continental .-\rmy.
Con-.patriols, you are at the birthplace of tlie 400 martyrs of
Long Island, in whose blood was baptised the new-born natiuii.
Crimp.';triots, you are in the land of the cavnliers. from whose
loins e;nnc the heroes of 'T'eggy Slewart Day." .\ deed so

.Mr. President-General, I nominate iiis l<in=man, Hon. Edwin
Wart'ieb:!, for Fresidi nt-General during tliC en^uing year.
JUDGE WHITEHEAD: There is a story of the early d:<ys
of Kentucky which has been made classic in the literature of tins
l<;e[)ub!ic. One, Col. Donald was hunting a coon. He t:eeil
(,iie; the coon looked down and saw who it was and said:
"Colonel, you need not fire, I will come de'wn." I have learned
Ir.ng since that when Col. Grihiih takes the tloor and niakea a
proposition at any convention of the S. .\. K., we are in ilie same
ci.ndition as tlie coon was; we may a^ well come down and
surrender fi''st as last.
But I second the nomination of Mr. W'arfield, not so nnich
because 1 am in that condition, but for two or tliree other rea-
sons, l-'irst, because the Society of Maryland a=ks us to put into
the b'.xecutive chair of this great Association their noble com-
p.itriot, tlie Honorable Edwin Warfield. That Society has been
lirst and foremost in producing patriotic results, in the estab-
li hment of memoriils of Revolutionary times, in the erectiiiii of
momunents, and in the spread of the principles C'f true Ameri-
canism throughout their State. I\Iy Second reason is this; ih. t,
tliough I don"t care nuicli for localities, yet the nomination comes
from a locality which has never received, recognition at the hands
of these conventions. Alaryland is a Southern State, south of
Mason and Dixon's line. It is true that we have had a Fresident
(.ieiieral in can' horn 'fed and respected leader, General-Breckin-
ridgc, but he really did not represent a Southern commurnty.
I'lUt my third and best reason is, because it is Edwin Warheld
himself that is in nomination. (Applause.) I.ocalit'es, in my
o[iinion, sink to nothingness unless you can accninpany with the
locality the man that is fit for the place. That man is Edwin
Wariield; a true .\merican ; descended of the best stock of Mary-
land and of the best stock of the United States: a man witli a
heart as broad and generous as this great Ivepublic; a man all
;ili\e, and keenly alive, to true .\merican principles; a man who
has proved by his past conduct, and by his present position in
this Congress, that he is deserving of our vt'tes heje this day
for the high olTice of President-General of this Society. I beg
of you, compatriots, to give your votes for Edwin Warneld.
(.\pplause.)
MR. JONES (Peimsylvania) : A few minutes ago, a gentle-
man said on this floor that we were all natural orators; but I
prefer to read to you what I have to say in connection with this
nomination.
MR. PRESHOENT: The Pennsylvania Delegates desire to
make a statement :
We were instructed to present to this Congress the name of
James Denton Hancock of Eranklin for President-General.
Pittsburg being the logical center of the Pennsylvania State
Society, , it has seemed desirable that for the
prompt transaction of business our principal officers should be
taken from our innnediate \-icinity, and this is the only reason
why Air. Elancock is not Pennsylvania's President to-day. Mr.
Hancock was in early life a Pittsburger. He removed to Frank-
lin, where he has grown to the fullest measure of manhood. The
individuality of Pittsburgers is lost in the immense interests of
('Ur city; while Franklin has not grown up to the stature of Mr.
Hancock. H it were otherwise the headquarters of our Society
would not be at Pittsburg.
Mr. Hancock is the personal friend and ad\isor of each of our
members; is our representative in our National Council, where
his ability and titness is well known.
E\er since we received our instructions in February last we
h.ive been trying to persuade Air. Hancock to permit us to
present his name to i'ou, but he has finally refused, and at his
personal request he makes way for the candidacy of Hon. Edwin
Warfield of iMaryland, which is seconded by Pennsylvania
MR. KATES (Michigan) : I rise to support the nomination
•'f Mr. P2dwin Warfield as President-General of this Society.
It Comes with a special appropriateness under the circumstances
because, if the people of Alichigan, have a worthy descendant of
!he br.ive young patriot that led. the tea party in I'.ijston. and v,-e
come to Maryland as a friend of the ancestor of Mr. Warfield
■•"•ho went to the tea party of the 19th of C>ctober, 1774, and
said to the Captain of the Peggy Stuart: "You must either burn
your ship or you will sling fiuin the mainyards." -Vn'! it is ihis
spirit of patriotiMU which is so identified in the life and cliaracter
of Mr. Wariield that it appeals to u; with special force; and it is
with the greatest pleasure tliat I support liis nomination.
MR. C. W. HASKl.XS (New York); I now move that t!ie
nominations for President-General be closed, and that the Secre-
tary be instructed to cast a ballot for the Society, electing Ed\sin
Warfield as President-tieneral for the ensuing year.
PRESIDENT-GENERAE LOGAN: Yom nn-ion is no! in
order at present. Are there any more nomin.itions to be nrnii.-.'
MR. CORNELIUS PUGSLEY (New York): In behali of
the Empire .State Society, I have great pleasure in seconding the
nomination of the Hon. Ed\\ in W'arfield of ALaryland. 1 .Ap-
plause.) New York rejoices in rallying around "Alaryl.and. My
Alaryland." and especially is this so when Maryland presents the
name of the Hon. Edwin Warfield. To grasp his hand, to I"'.>k
upon his face, to know tlie generous impulses of the man, i; to
be brought into touch with one who is every inch a man, and a
man which this Society may well delight tci Ikiiiot. I'he deleg.-'.tes
from the Empire State. Society will have great pleasure in c,->ot-
ing their vote for our worthy compatriot, Hon. Edwin A. War-
field, of Alaryland.
GENERAL BRECKINRIDGE: The President-Genera! has
exactly hit the kfy that I an; here to strilce. They say that I am
not a representative of the Smith; but if God knows my bean. I
am a representative of the patriots of America, and if the Soutli
needs a better representative than I am, 1 ilnnk th.-^.t God ;iiul
thank you that you have the opportunity v> choose him to-day.
A nobler rnan, a finer champion, has not walked in the walks of
your Society than the man you are now about to select; and as
you are upholding a set of institutions which are inconceivable
to the Asiastic, which are the very flower of all that has g^ne
before, among all the civilized nations of the world, v.diich require
a man of such breadth as you have heard, of such nobility as yon
know, I, from the Orien.t, come here and say : God bless you in
choosing such a man; you can find no better.
AIR. TRL'AIBI'LL; I have no speech to make to you. gentle-
men, but before this vote is taken I simply wish to say a -vvord
for the State of Connecticut: that we are heartily in sympath>-
with this nomination and shall take great pleasure in casting
our vote for the candidate who has been proposed to you — Hon.
Edwin Warfield.
AIR. LEWTS (Virginia) : It is not my purpose to make a
speech or to pronounce a eulogy, but in one word to voice tlie
sentiment of'the 'Virginia Chapter of the S. A. R., as well as to
carry out the behest of my own heart, in cordiallj' seconding the
nomination of Edwin Warfield, of Alaryland. The States of
Alaryland and Virginia are, and have always been, very close to-
gether; not alone territorially, but the bonds of affection vsdiich
unite those two States are very strong. I w-ould not be under-
stood, however, compatriots, to say that they are stronger than
the bonds which unite Virginia and Alassachusetts and Penn-
sylvania or any other of her sister States (.Applause): but the
Hon. Edwin 'VVarf.eld is the clioice of the Virginia Chapter of
the S. A. R. for this high honor, because we believe that he is
highly qualified for it and that he will adorn the place. (Ap-
plause.) (
GENERAL ANDERSON: In behalf of the distant Society
which I represent, so that it may have a more national appear--
ance, I wish to second the nomination of compatriot Warfield.
I have another purpose in doing so, and I state it witii great
pleasure. It is important to bring the South into line as far as
we can. Of course, it is in line with us now, but we want oar
membership to be increased there, and I don't know anyone who
can facilitate this better than the Hon. Edwin Warfield.
Therefore, I take great pleasure, Air. President, in seconding this
nomination.
GENER.AL APPLETON: I trust that th,* moti^.n of Com-
patriot Haskins will prc.ail at the proper tini'?; and that is now.
AIR. BUNKER; It will take a very short time for me to
say what I have to say. California, which originated this order,
is for Air. Warfield.
A DELEG.\TE: Colorado casts her vote for Warfield.
AIR. AHLLER (Illinois) : Illinois takes great pleasure in
voting as a unit for Air. Wartield as President-General of tliis
Society.
A DELEG.ATE: Wisconsin is also a unit for Air War-
field.
AIR. PALMER: Montana casts her ballo: for Warndd.

EDWIN WARFJELD.
Compatriois, you have onferred upon nie one of the greatest
honors that can come to an American citi'i-ii. 'ihe Presidency
of this Society, comjiosed as it is of over 10,000 desci.ndai\ts of
the men v/ho won our freedom from Pritijh rule, should s.iii fy
llie proudest ambition.
I interpret my selection ior this high positie-n as a recognition
and approval of wliat the Maryland Socie'y has done tei perpetu-
ate the mcmor}' of our Jveeolutionary sires and of ^Liryiand's
services in the cause of liberty.
I am but the medium .ihrougli which you Coiuty to our people
your ap/iueci ition of the fonitude of our patriot statesmen and
ttie valor of our soldiers v.dio com.posed the "Old ^Maryland
Line," "the bayonets of tlie Revolutionary Army."
We ALirylanders are proud cf the splendid, record made by our
soldiers and citizens in that great struggle for independence.
As President of the Maryland So^-iety of the Sons of the
American Revolution, on behalf of our people and personally,
I thank you for this evidence of your good will atid of your
interest in the glorious story of our grand old Commorweallh,
one of the original 13 States.
'J"o you, my compatriots, who have so generously comniiMided
me to-day, 1 extend my deep gratitude. I shall tver chei i^h
your indorsement.
To flli the chair once occupied by the brilliant Porter, the
forceful MiHphy, the soldierly Breckinridge and you, General
Logan, places me in a trying position. You and your prede-
cessors measured up to the fullest e.xpectations of us all. and
especially have you well met every demand and duty. ISy your
uniform couriesy and liberality you have greatly advanced the in-
terests of our Society and ilie cause of patriotism, whde by your
ability and zeal you have commanded our admiration.
If 1 shall in the performance of my duties win and deserve half
the praise that you have received and merited I shall be content.
WALTER S. LOGAN : The Constitution of this Society
says that the general ofilcers shall hold ofrice until their suc-
cessors have been elected. Z\Ij" successor having been elected, I
take great pleasure in presenting to you, Mr. President-General,
the ga\'el of office, i'ou have my best wishes for success in your
■ administration; and whatever 1 c?n do to make that success even
greater is at your service.
Compatriots, I thank you from my heart for the cordial and
enthusiastic support which you have given me during the year
I have held the ofiice of Presideitt-Gencral.
Ihree cheers were given for the retiring President-General.
JUDGE WIIITE.HEAD: The next business in order is the
ui-aninalions for Vice-Presidents-General. I hope that I may
be pernutted to put in nomination a member of our Society of
New JcTbcy. We delight to honor young -men, and this gentle-
man wiiMiii I am about to name has pi-oved himself to be worthy
of ar.y hunor to which liis own Society may invite him. He is
a y'r.nig nian who lias shov/n himself, during the years that he
h.i3 befu a member of our .Society, active in the establishment of
everything that can conduce to its interest and advantage. . I
^/i^'e ll'.e honor to nominate as one of the \'xe-Presidents of tliij
Society Mr. Andrew W. Bray, of New jersey.

passed beyond tlie .summit of tlie hill of life, and has descended
ii.to the vale. I submit to nuu, my compatriots, that it would
be a fitting tribute to his work to crown his long and honorable
career with this high distinction. (.Applause.)
JUpGE ILANCOCK: 1 am here to nominate a gentleman
from Pennsylavnia to the high oUice cf Vice-President of this
Society. Many of you will reiiteniber that only a year ago you
were at Pitisburg. You remember tliat that Society was at that
time but sma.ll. Like my friend. Judge Whitehead, I believe that
tlie honors should go to those who have borne the brunt of ilie
battle. ^V^en it was proposed to ask this Congress to meet in
our great Western city, I confess that I was not in favor of it.
But m3' friends. Col. Albert J. Logan carri.;d it through our
Society and tinally came to the National Socie;y in New York
and carried it through there. The eitect was — well, I don't wish
to tla'ter my own Society as to wdiat they did there — but the
effect of his work at that time has been that the Pennsylvania
Society, of whicl; lie was President, and which liad but 125 mem-
bers at that time, to-day has over 360 members. (Applause.)
Then, we had no represcntaticn in the Eastern part of the State.
In Philadelphia we now have a thriving chapter; and all through
the West and center of the State this great Society is making
itself felt. This man has ahvays been generous. Last j'ear,
without my knowledge, he presented my name to this Society,
and you did me the honor to elect me as Vice-President of the
Society; and now I have the honor of nominating the man to
whom the office really belonged at that time. I place in nomina-
tion the name of Col. Albert J. Logan.
MR. TRUMBULL: Connecticut lacked but one thing in the
days of the Revolution, and that \vas oratory; and our Society
being hereditary, I have inherited no gift or oratory. But it
gi\es me great pleasure on this occasion to place in nomination
for one of your Vice-Presidents-General, a gentleman with
whom I have been associated in our Society during the fourteen
years of its existence ; whom I know to be active in all that the
Society has done in good and patriotic work, and the Society in
Connecticut I think is second to none in the amount of work
which it has actually achieved. I shall not, tlierefore, build a
Chinese wall of oratory around my little .State of Connecticut,
nor shall I occupy even the three minutes allotted to me in a
eulogy upon the gentleman vehom I propose to noiriinate. There
will be sufhcient eulogy for hira vrhen his associates become ac-
quainted with him. In the words of the poet, I can simply say:
"None know him but to love him,
None natrie him bat to praise."
I have the pleasure of placing in nomination Morris Vv'. Beards
ley, of Bridgeport, Conn.
MR. HANDY (Del.) : The Society to-day has fittingly and
properly recognized in the person of the President-General elect
the services of the old ^Maryland Line; and wherever in the
Revolutionary W^ar the Maryland Line fixed its bayonets and
charged, I believe without exception throughout the record ot
the Revolutionary War, where a bayonet charge is made by the
old Alaryland Line, marching with them step by step was a regi-
ment of Delaware Continental troops, and in every report of tlie
battle you will see something complim.entary of the "^vlaryland
I-ine and the brave Delawares," as the reports ahvays say. (Ap-
plause.) That tiling \\ent so' far that Kirkwood, with his Dela-
svares, who marched to the South, left home with a thousand
bayonets, shed blood on every battlefield, met the brunt of every
fight, and came back at the clo-e of the '.var with less than on."
hundred men of the thousand. Delaware literally gave a regi-
ment to fight and to die almost to the last man. (Applause.)
She is so small in territory— although Delaware and Te.xas to-
gether arc larger than any other tv/q States of the L^nioa — Dela-
were by herself is so small in territory that this unexampled hero-
ism is not known all over the country. Now, little Delaware,
when the Maryland Line marches on to victory in this Society
to-;!ay in the person of the President-Gei'eral. brave litile Dela-
Vvare should walk alongside h.er with -a candidate f^r the Vice-
President General. (Applause.) We marched wiiii your State
alwajs in the Revolutionary \Var; and now, sir, in the day of
your triumph, we will not desert you; we want to be with you
to-day. So, unanimously, the LVlaware Society has instructed

Delaware, that used to produce the heroes that the rountry
doesn't know ahfuit, in modern times has ijn^duccd the delicious
pe.-ich, that evcrvl.i.idy knows ahon', Jioward DeHaveii ]<oss is
the best example of a JJelavvare peach that we have in this
Si-iciety. He has claiuis on this SocieJy ; lie has Lceu for two
years the Chairman of the conmiittcc which has had charge of
the list of all of the niembcrs of this Society, the National Regis-
ter— I was about to say Herd Bock, hut I knew that was not
tight. Our own Society has been giowmg in the last two years;
wc have increased one hundred per cent. We always prefer to
talk in percentages in our State instead of actual numbers.
Some of you people may have a larger number; but who has a
greater percentage of increase? We liave put up a beautiful
monument in our State at Cooch's Bridge, largely through the
patriotic efiForts of Mr. Ross. We clainr that at Cooch's Bridge
the o'd and beautiful flag, the Star Spangled Banner, was first
unfurled to the baptism of fire, and that the first drop of blood
that an Am.erican soldier ever shed beneath that flag was shed
at Cooch's Bridge in the State of Delaware. So, we have put
up a monument there to commemorate that event. We are not
altogether able to prove, perhaps, that that was the spot, but the
monument is there. (Laughter.) _And if :,-ou can prove that it
was anywhere else you can come and gel the monument and take
it off (laughter) ; but until some other spot is found for the
first unfurling of the llag, Cooch's Bridge is the spot, and
Howard DeHaven Ros.- has his monument there to mark it out.
You have five different places for wdiich nominations are in order.
We do not take the same attitude in regard to this position that
wc take in Delaware with regard to some officers. We do not
intend to stand here and saj that this must be Howard DeHaven
Ross, or else there shall be no Vice-Presidents elected at all.
By giving your vote for Mr. Ross you will help things along and
you will get a young man of energy, of activity, a young man
who will be a fit assistant to our magnificent new President-
General. Why do I need to argue any longer? Let us make his
election unanimous; that is all that Delaware asks.
MR. BATES (Mich.) : We are ail very much surprised to
know that Delaware has been consorting with the State of
Texas; we had supposed that her ainiliations were nearer home,
and I want to present to you a distinguished gentleman from
the great Empire State near her. Possibly some of the influence
that the distinguished gentlemati from Delaware has been extend-
ing to us at this time may come over into the State of New York.
You have in the past sought one of her most distinguished sons
as your President-General. It is very appropriate that this great
State and the Society that represents it shall be also represented
among your national officers. We have with us to-day such a
man. He holds an honorable seat in the National House of
Representatives, from one of the most respectable and influen-
tial districts in the country. He has guarded your finances in
the past, and he will worthily represent you as one of your
worthy Vice-Presidents General. It gives me the greatest pleas-
ure to nominate for this position Hon. Cornelius F'ugslcy.
Nomination seconded.
MR. SNOW (Hi.) : We have with us from Illinois a mem-
ber who has done a good deal to increase our Society, This gen-
tleman has given us a great deal of his time and thought in
building up our Society, and has been the Secretary-General for
the past four years. I take pleasure \n nominating for this
office Captain Samuel Eberly Gross.
MR. HENRY W. JOSLIN: The old, old story, when any-
thing is said about 'Rhode Island, is that she is the smallest
State in the Union; and we are so used to that now that we
don't find any fault when you say it. But little though we are,
we come down to this Congress trying to do our part and do
it worthily in the interest of this association. No other Society
has greater interest -in the work than the State of Rhode Island.
Little though she he", her' miembers represent those that shed
their blood from Boston to the farther South. We point to our
Grant, second only to Washington; to Hopkins and tlitchcock.
Cpon that record, which we will let be of the past, there only
remains to us the patriotism that has been incorporated in our
hearts. That patriotism we find burning m every heart of eve.-y ■
single member of our association. Now, we simply come here,
as I said before, to present to you a name for your consideration,
and when we do that we present a man whose record will be
known to you; but we regret tiiat he is not here to-day to show
for hintself. We propose to present him here, and wc '.s'l^h. to
>JIg'' his election. I name to you -is tiie representative from Rhode
islnnd E.K-Gov. Cliarles Warren Lippitt, a man to whatever
active work he engages in gives his whole heart. You can de-
pend upon it that little Rhode Island will send, if you elect him,
a stror.gcr support to the able President-General whe.in you
have elected, in proportion, than any of the larger .Stales c?.n
send. I a>k your suffrages, in the name j'ud in heh;di i.t th.e
State of Rhode Island, for the name of Ex-Gov. CharlLS W.'.r-
ren Lippitt, as one of the Vice-Presidents of the National S.j-
ciety.
MR. RICILVRDSON (Ohio) : It may seem to you singular
that Ohio has no candidate cither for the Presidency or for ihe
Vice-Presidency of this Society. As I have not been instructed,
and have no inclination to make an original nomination (,i any
one for either of these offices, 1 wL-h to throw myself np.jii yjur
mercy, and to second the nomination of two men who ha\._ |j< .-n
named. Give me double time, because I may not get another
chance on this floor.
1 think we should come a little to the practical side of this
question. These four gentlemen, with one exception, we have
named from all along th.e Atlantic Seaboard; and they are dis-
tinguished men, men of worth, men whom it would be an h'^nor
for this Society to place in these offices. But we have no place
for thirteen Vice-Presidents General under our Constitution.
We can have but five, and looking over the names that have been
placed in nomination here, I think of two; one from the little
State of Rhode Island (applause), one of the finest, cleanest,
most magnificent men that that litile State liolds, Charles War-
ren Lippitt; every inch a genileman; every inch a patriot; and
every inch devoted to the welfare of this Society. 1 wish to
second the nomination of Charles Warren Lippitt.
■ Ihen, if you will bear with me, I wish ai«j 10 call your atten-
tion to the Prairie Staie of the West. C'jiitain Samuei Eberly
Gross has been placed iit nomination here. He is a man who
deserves well of this Society; he has given of his time and
money, and given of his great influence in the West, to increase
and enlarge tlie Society there. You, of tlie Eastern States, can.
have, from his connection v.ith j-ou as Secretary-Genera! of the
National Society, but a \ery small conception of the influence
of Captain Gross beyond the Mississippi. I therefore take pleas-
ure in second the nomination of Captain Samuel Eberly Gross.
I hope these two men will certainly be placed upon that list of
Vice-Presidents General.
r^IR. UNDERW^OOD (Wis.) : The State that I have the
honor to represent lias no son of her own that she wishes to
bring forward for any position in your gift; but she looks with
friendly and affectionate eyes just south of her, to the great
commonwcaltii of Illinois, and it gives me pleasure to state, not
only as the unanimous voice of my delegation, but as the voice
of the Wisconsin Society, that at our last meeting, shortly be-
fore I came to this city, \ve had but one name to present, and
that was the name of Captain Samuel Eberly Gross, as Vice-
President. We know what JMr. Gross has done; we all know
what "ne has done as Secretary-General; and the only hesitation
in my own Society, in bringing forv/ard his name, was that he
had done so well in that otlice and so satisfactorily we fain
would not let him go, and we felt it due to say to liim : "Friend,
come up higher." We hated to miss him from the position he
hiS so ably filled. In connection with this nomination, I would
like also to couple a motion that the thanks of the association
be extended to Captain Gross for his efficient and satisfactory
service as Secretary-General of this Society.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL WARFIELD: Your motion is out
of order.
MR. UNDERWOOD: Then Wisconsin simply presents his
name.
JUDGE HANCOCK: I don't wish to appear before you too
often. I know that one of the most fatal errors a man can make
is to talk too much, but I do lyish to say a few words here,
^lost of the Vice-Presidents, or at least some of the Vice-Presi-
dents of the past year, have declined to be candidates this year.
Among those wdio are most respected, a man that we would like
to have fill tliat position perpetually, if it could be, was my
friend Judge Wh.itehead. He is the father, not only of the New
Jersey Society of the S. A. R., but he is a father in our midst.
He has presented to you one of his sons, a man who has been
brought up by him in his own Society; he has recommended him,
and in him we are likely to have .the wise counsels, likely to
have the efficient work of our dear old friend, and our dear old
officer in this Society, the Hon. Judge Whitehead. I have pleas-
ure, therefore, in seconding the nomination of Mr. Bray as one
of the Vice-Presidents of this Society.-
MR. CHANDLER: I rise to second the nomination of Judge
Beardtlcy, of Connecticut, as one of the Vice-Presidents; and
in doing so I wish to say that the Connecticut delegation ex-

this Society, Juid we know that he will be a credit and an honor
10 our own Society, which >ou will remember stands third in
point of membership; first MabSacluisctt, tlien New York, and
then Connecticut. W'c feel he is a worthy successor eif General
Greeley, our Connecticut Vice-President who v.'as on the Board
two years ago. I hope the delegates of this convention will east
their votes for Judge Beardsley.
MR. \V.-\RREN (N. Y.) : As a member of the Empire Slate
Society, I desire to say that she has about thirteen liundred mem-
Ijers. I\Ir. Logan is from Comiecticut; I am from Connecticut
myself; and it gives me great pleasure to second the nominal ion
of Judge Morris P. Beardsley, of I'ridgepurt, Comi.
GENERAL APPLETON: I ri-,e to second the nomination of
our present Treasurer-General, who has been puc in nomination,
the Hon. Cornelius Pugsley, of New York. He has served u?
well and faithfully in every respect; he has been honored in a
di>triet which might have been doubtful in some way by bei;iL;
elevated to the Congress of the United Slates. I thnik he will
honor us decidedly if we make him one of our \'^ice-Presidcnis.
ISlR. WALTER S. LOGAxN : New York is a very modest
State; but when it has Cornelius Pug^ley in it, it canni-t nnord
to be too modest. ]jef<jre we make him President of the United
States, we intend to make him President-General of the S. A. R.
some years hence. But you have had some unfortunate experi-
ence in electing a President'-General from New York State, who
hadn't pre\iously had any training in tlie office of Vice-President
General. M'hen Pugsley comes to be President-General we
want him to have had a few years' experience as Vice-Pre-ident
General, so that he may be better fiued for the position than
the recent gentleman v.dio tried to do his duty but failed.
(Cries of No, no. He's all right.) New York presents the name
of Cornelius A. Pugsley; not only because of his magnificent
abilities; not only because of the high position which he no'v
holds; not only because he will be an honor to the Society; but
because New York likes him and loves him. I am a little em-
barrassed when I sec the list of Vice-Presidents norninaied.
You have already among the noiTiinations previously made a
namesake of mine and a classmate of mine; the latter Judge
l^eardsley, of Connecticut. I do not ask you to neglect the
namesake or the classmate, but I do ask you to elect Pugsley of
New Y'ork.
MR. STOCKETT: We have always elected the Vice-Presi-
dents General, or one of them, from the Societies which have
entertained us during these conventions. It therefore gives me
pleasure to second the nomination of Mr. Noble D. Earner, of
Washington, 1 ). C.
JUDGE WTIITEHEAD; I should do violence to my own
feelings of love and affection for the Delaware Society if I were
not to second the nomination of Mr. Howard DeHaven Ross.
I know that young man; I have known him for several years;
I know something about his work in the Soicely which he so
honorably represents on the tloor of this convention. No mis-
take can be made in putting him into this position of \"ice-
President. There are some gentlemen, one gentleman particu-
larly, in this convention who have the power of taking threshed
wheat and adding something new to it. It is our good friend
Goode, of A'irginia; but our "Handy" friend from Delaware has
so ably presented the name of Mr. Ross from that magnificent
State to this convention, has said so much about him, that it is
almost impossible for me to- find words to say what I would
like to say about Mr. Ross. But I hope that he may receive a
vote from this convention that will place him in the office of
Vice-President.
Allow me to say another word about our New Jersey candi-
date. New Jersey, during the Revolution, was harrassed from
one end to the other; its farmers were pillaged; their crops
were taken off; their matrons and maidens were outraged; and
'■very indignity that could be put upon human nature was in-
flicted in that State of New Jersey. .Mr. Bray had three repre-
sentatives of his family in the Revolution, the grandfather, the
father and the son ; three men from the same family through
wluim he claims eligibility as a member of the New Jersey
Socirty. Give us your vote for him, if }ou please.
G]'..\'ER.M. A.XDERSON: 'Wiihout any solicitation what-
ever, and with but a very slight personal acquaintance, I wish to
second the nomination of a gentleman whom I have watched as
a number of th.is Society, and with whose excellent work I am
familiar. 1 am altogether ini[)artial in ihe mattrr; 1 lia\e imt
been solicited in any way to second this nominatiiai. but 1 want
to c.dl your atteitlion to the n.tnic of Cc'inpitriut Noble D. Lir-
ncr, of the District of Colmnb^a. I don't think we should forget
him on this occasion.
C(")L. GRIEFI'l'II: May I just say one word to General .\n
derson?-' Wc of the old pLOfile, we have never yi.t failed Ui
elect a Vice-Pre.^idcnt General from the place where this Con-
gress met and from those b;/ Vi-liom we were entertained.
MR. B.A.RNARD (.Md.) : I d.-sire to second the nomination
of iha other I-i')gan— Ce>I. Logan — and th.it of our distingu'shed
compatriot, Captain Samuel Eberly Gross. In addition to being
the son of a military sire, he himself is a military man, havin-.r
raised a troop of infaiilry in the Slate of Pennsylvania; and I
have no doubt that if he had been here at the time of the R. vo-
lution he would have raised a similar arm. He has served us
long and faithfully as Secretary-General of this distinguished
body, and I think it is a fitting tribute to his generous work in
the past that we make him a Vice-President General.
GENERAL BRECKINRIDGE: I fancy that all of us arc
Conscious that the nominees for the \'ice- Presidency are such
men who illustrate our life and our character as \vell as any set
of men could. I v\ould like to follow in the steps of our con-
stant leader, the President of the Nev/ Jersey Society, to say
some words about those whose work I have seen, and know lio'.v
perfect it is. I suppose it is impossible for every m.ember of this
S'jcicty to know how much has been done in the secret recesses
f>f the E.xecutive Chambers; but when such men as Pug>ley liave
brought our finances into the condition that they are in now. and
wiii.m such a man as Ross has done the preliminary part of the
Work which has been so perfectly finished by the last administra-
tion— in fact, it could not have been done at all if it had not
been that President-General Logan took it up all alone and car-
ried it through like a giant through the water — and wlien Mr.
Grois, who has been spending money out of his own pocket
year after year, and spending his time and energies in tb.e work
of this Society, and a cluster oi grapes like that, each one en-
riched with the juice of the finest labor and patriotism, let us
go through this thing quickly and get the best of them, and go
no further. I move that the nominations now close, and that
the ti\e men getting the highest inimber of votes be declared
elected.
The motion was duly seconded and carried.
The following names were placed in nomination for tb.e offi-
ces of Vice-President :
Andrew W. Bray, New Jersey.
Colonel Albert J. Logan, Pittsburg. Pa.
Judge Morris K. Beardsley, Connecticut.
Howard DeHaven Ross, Delaware.
Honorable Cornelius A. Pugsley, New York.
Captain Samuel Eberly Gross, of Illinois.
Honorable Charles Warren Lippilt. Rhode Island.
Noble D. Earner, District of Columbia.
Judge Whitehead, New Jersey.
DELEGATE FROM THE ST.VT E OF WASHINGON:
.Article V. refers to the conditions governing the election of the
Nati'itial Society. (Reads Article V.). I am the oniy delegate
representing the State of W^ashington, and would like to inquire
whether I am entitled to the full five votes or only to one vote.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL WARFIELD : I am of the opinion
that you vote not by States-; that ito delegation is authorized to
cast a full vote ; that the vote is only to be taken by delegates
present. If the delegations fail to fill the vacancies under the
authority that they have, they can only cast the number of votes
that they Have present.
MR. CHANDLER: I move that five tellers be appointed.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL WARFIELD: I appoint the ■ f..T
lowing gentleman as tellers: Mr. Chandler, Mr. Handy, Mr.
Barnard, Mr. Joslin, General Appleton.
The tellers were instructed to retire, to count the votes.
COLONEL GRIFFITH: In the absence of the tellers who
are counting the votes, I move that we proceed to the eleciioti
of the Secretarv-Gencral.
The nominations
PRESIDENT-GENERAL WARFIELD :
for Secretary-General are now in order.
JUDGE WFIITEHFAD: In 1893, at Chica.go. in casting
around for a Secretary-General, the evince of wlncli was then
vacant, my thought went to that man who stands perhaps tb.e
first among us now, Hon. Franklin Murphy, of New Jersi'y, as a
proper person tc fill that position. I nominated him and he w:(S

electee!, and you all kno-,v the manner in wliich he performed
the duties of tli'it posi'ion. No n;,"n ever dul inorc for the s^ r-
vicc of any institution thun d'd Franklin Murphy for the S. A. R.
Ilr was every ready at any ninnunt of time to respond to any
eall that mi^;ht be made up'in him. He v,as succeeded by Cr'p-
tain Eberly Gross. We propose tn [irctnote Captain Gross to
the oflice rif Vice-President, antl \vc now take the lili'.rty of
proposing, the gentleman who, I tliiid;, is a worthy successor td'
Captain Samuel Eberly (iross and Franklin Murphy. He has
been in charge of the fmances of the S>'ciety for several years,
being the predecessor of the jjentk^man who has filled that office
so v/orthily for the last few years. He comes from the Empire
State Society; he comes froiu first rate Revolutionary stock; he
is a man whom we have tried, a man of gteal probity, a man of
intelligence, a man of great i ncrgy and iierse\erance, and a man
of enthusiasm, whose heart is filled to ovcrdowing with the
princi[iks of true Americanism. (Applaitse. ) I nominate
Ciiarles Waldo Ilaskins for the oflice of Secretary-General.
MR. RICHARDSON (Ohio) : A few years ago. and for
quite a period, occupying a very pr(_>minent po>ition in the af-
fairs of this State and the nalieai xvas a m.m who was known
as the tall Sycamore of the Wnlia-h. It gives me great pleas-
ure to know another tall man, and to second the nomination of
the tall Sycamore of th.c Hudsiin, ^Ir. Ch.irhs Waldo Ilaskins,
for Secretary-General of this Society.
MR. WALTER SETH LOGAN: Tlie difficulty with my Now
York candidates is that the other Stales steal them au'ay from
me. I am now here to second tlie nomination of Charley Ilas-
kins— for that is what we know him by in New York. Yir.
Ilaskins ha? already served the Naticaial Society as one of its
most hard-working othcers for many years. He occupied the
office of Treasurer-General' when I first knew anything about
this Society, and I think he kept it until a few years ago, when he
gave place to Mr. Pugsley.
We, in New York, believe in Haskins. I know something
about the New York Society and the work they are doing, and
I know that there is n..) man doing better work for the Sons of
the American Revolution in our State than Charles Waldo Has-
kins. I believe that there is no inan who has done better work
for tlie National Society, or who will do better work for it when
you elect him Secretary-General, than Charles \\'aldo Haskins.
CAPTAIN GROSS: I would like to second the nomination
of Mr. Haskins most earnc=iiy. I have held the office four
years, 'and wanted to renounce my duties on finding a good
man as successor; and this is the first time I have been ready to
retire wdicn a competeiit candidate offered himiself. .In Mr. Has-
kins I tliink we have a man who has the disposition and the
talent to fill the position.
:MR. W00D:M.\N (Dei.) : I appear before you to-day prob-
ably as the only person attending this Congress who was a
charter member; one of those wdio met in old Fraunce's Tavern
in 1.SS9 and organized the National Society of the S. .\. R. And
as I am now past the three-score-and-ten mark, probably this is
the last time that I shall ever meet with you ; but I tell you it
does my heart good to look back and see the few — some thirteen
or fourteen there — most of whorti have gone ; to see the growth
of this Society; to see where you are to-day; why, my heart is
more than full. I am proud of the fact that I was one of the
charter members and had the honor of being one of the V'ice-
Presideuts General for Delaware for a number of years. I am
heartily in favor of Mr. Haskins for Secretary-General.
MR. CHAILLE-LONG (Paris) : It gives me great pleasure
to endorse the nomination of Mr. Charles Waldo Haskins. It
seems to me particularly fitting that I should say that I have
known him for many years, and had the privilege of inducing
him to become a member of thv Society in New York. I hope
you will elect him.
REV. DR. CLARKE: I move that the Secretary cast the
unanimous vote of this Congress for Charles W^aldo Haskins.
Motion carried and the Secretary was instructed to cast the
ballot for Mr. Haskins.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL WARFIELD: I congratulate the
Society and i\Ir. Haskins, and ask 'Mt. Haskins to step to the
platform.
MR. HASKINS: Mr. President-General and compatriots, I
am really very much embarrased at this ovation, and at the
good things that have been said about me. I am not altogether
used to theiTi. Our President-General is perhaps not so inuch
embarrassed, nor Mr. Logan, nor the others, who are used to it:
I am !. )t. I have been a worker in the Sons of the .Am. Revolution,
and 1 am glad to work for that Society; i: is a labor of love. I
think that when v/e have a motive, when we feel that we have
something to work for, otir work will be to the benefit of the
country. I am glad '.iiat my services for the .Society, modest as
they liave been, are commended by your electing me to this
office; and I feel honored, and will do the best I c:iii to be
a worthy successor, as far "as niy cajiacity will allow me. to Gov-
ernor Franklin Murpliy and Captain Samuel Eberly Gross.
Governor Mur()hy is one of the few v.'ise woikers who set us
our standard of eliiciency. It is said that he who docs twclve
men's work has a right to make twelve men's mistakes; but men
like Governor Mur[>hy do the work and the rest of us make —
well, we make an honest effort, and console ourselves with re-
inembcring that we did the best we knew hov/.
I ann glad, not only to be a successor to Governor Murphy,
but to have been also nominated by the same honorat)lc com-
patriot whio first named him for this ollicc. Judge Whitehead is
very properly called the dean cf the S. A. R. ; well docs he sus-
tain the character of an educator in patriotism.
And speaking of deans and of education in patriotism, I sh.Ul
esteem it an honor, compatriots, to assist in this work you have
now t.iken in hand of educating our naturalized citizens, and the
unnaturalized foreign clement, in the fundamental principles of
liberty on v.diich our Republic is built. I think that the motion
which jirevailed to-day to give the Society this live issue is
\ery penineni ; it is something that I have been in favor of for
years, and I am very glad to be Secretary of the Society when
this is before us. I shall be glad to help every State, and every
member of this Society in every State, by the hardest woik I
can give to it, to further this patriotic movement to inculcate
patriotism in the hearts of the people of this country. Gentle-
men, i shall Serve you to the best of my ability; and if, at the
end of the year, I can command your thanks, it is all the reward
I shall ask.
^IR. STERNS (Alass.) : It becomes my pleasant and cheer-
ful duty to be called upon to nominate a gentleman for the oflice
of Treasurer-General; one who bears a historic name; one whose
name is treasured by every loyal compatriot of this organization.
He Comes from a State that has always been loyal to its country;
he comes from a Slate that furnished more than 100.000 men
for the battlefields and the naval historj- of the Revolution. He
combes from the State that furnished more than 2I,cchj men in
the War of 1812; which, however, was not a very popular war in
^Massachusetts. He is a man in his demeanor; he is a man that
never seeks an office ; the office seeks the man. It gives me great
pleasure to nominate for the office of Treasurer-General Nathan
Warren, of iMassachusetts.
GENERAL JOS. C. BRECKINRIDGE: I second that nomi-
nation and move that the unanimous ballot of the Society be
cast therefor, and the nominations be closed.
Motion carried unanimously.
PRESIDENT-GENER.\L WARFIELD: Compatriots, I take
pleasure in introducing to you Mr. Nathan Warren, of Massa-
chuseits.
TREASURER-GENERAL WARREN ; One of the plea-ant-
est features of this election is that it comes to me as so much
of a surprise. It is very gratifying to me. I have taken from
its earliest formation a great deal of interest in the Massachu-
setts Society. Among the greatest pleasures, I may say, has
been the attendance at these Congresses, where I have noticed
the affectionate friendship, the spirit of broad patriotism, which
has always been prominent in our organization and through our
meetings. And it is a great pleasure to be commended, as I
have been by you, to follow in the footsteps of my friend, whom
I have known for many years, Mr. Pugsley. I can assure you
that I shall try to keep up ihe honor of Massachusetts and the
honor of the Society, and will see that the funds are properly
turned over at the close of my administration. (Laughter.)
PRESIDENT-GENERAL Vv'ARFIELD: The next order of
business is the election of Registrar-General.
MR. WALTER S. LOGAN: This is not the first time I have
stood here representing the District of Columbia in asking you
to elect )vlr. A. Howard Clark Registrar-General. (Applause.)
If I have had any popularity among tlie Sons of the American
Revolution, I attributed it to the fact tliat I ha\-o continued }ear
after year to name A. Howard Clark.- I wish to continue that
popularity. Mr. Clark is one of the men that were not dupli-
cated when the world was made. The position which he fills is
so much more laborious, and so much more difficult, and re-
quires so much greater genius, than the position of President-
General, tliat really the F.egistrar-Gene'ral ought to itaiid at
the head of the ticket. Most any of us — like Warfield and niy^
self — can make an acceptable President-General; but there is
only one man in the United States that I know cf who can

ond the nominaiion of A. Howard Clark, and 1 ask the Secre-
tary to cast a ballot unanniiously electing Mr. Clark as Regis-

Motion carried unanimously
REGISTRAR-GENERAL CLARK: Were I a speechniaker
I might talk here for half an fiour; but since I am not, I can
do nothing more than to thank you most heartily and sincerely
for my election to this high oilice — for the eleventh time. I
have tried to do my duty; it has been difficult at times, but the
manner in which the State officers ha.ve alw.iys supported nie
has relieved me very much, and I want to thank thc>se State
officers for what they have done. I want to thanlc the Congress
for the great honor that I have received at its hands to-day.
PRESIDENT-GExNERAL WARFIELD: We now come to
the office of Historian-General.
MR. CORNELIUS PUGSLEY: From the great State of
Michigan and from that beautiful city of trees come to the
S. A. R. men with the progressive ideas of the Aliddle West.
It has such men that this Congress delights to honor; and in
behalf of the Empire State Society it gives me great pleasure
to place in nomination a man for the office of Historian-Gen-
eral; a man who has endeared himself to us by those qualities
that go to make the ideal man ; a man who, in a report read from
this platform a day or two ago, reveals the fact that we have
the right man in the right place. (Applause.) With a legal
mind, he grasps the essential facts that should be considered,
and puts them before us eloquently and forcibly. It gives me
the greatest pleasure to put in nomination for the office of "His-
torian-General our worthy compatriot from the City of Detroit,
Mr. Geo. W. Bates.
MR. GREGORY (Pa.) : Pennsylvania desires unanimously
to second that nomination, and I move that the Secretary cast
the ballot for ^Ir. Bates as Elistoiian-General for the ensuing
year.
Motion carried.
HISTORIAN-GENERAL BATES: Coming from the hands
of the V.-i'ies. -General of this Society, this is the most gratify-
ing introduction that I could receive. It is especially gratifying
to know that my services in the past have met with your fullest
approval. Perhaps many of you know— some of you do know —
that my natural inclination is in the line of the historical, and
that this orhce offers to nie more grateful service than any other
office in the hands of this Congress. In the past there has not
been that systematic ei'fort made to collect and compile and put
in some accessible form the historical matter connected with the
history of these societies; and it has occurred to me that this
can be done by having the different State societies report to the
Historian-General the riiatters of historic interest pertaining to
the Revolution. That is the work I have laid out for myself
for many yuars. I bespeak your kindly consideration in the
progress of this work, and at the same time thank you for this
high honor.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL WARFIELD: Nominations for
the oftice of Chaplain-General are now in order.
COL. LOGAN: I'wo years ago, in New York, you 'honored
Permsylvania by electing for your Chaplain-Genera! one of our
compatriots. One year ago you again complimented us by con-
tinuing him in office, thereby signifying that he had been a faith-
ful servant. I am here to-day, gentlemen, representing our pres-
ent Chaplain-Gener;d, who has been called away by a telegram
receivrd a short while ago, that prevented him from being pres-
ent and speaking to you now. Chaplain-General Wartield de-
sired me to ncminate for the position of Chaplain-General of
the Nnt'.onai Society Rev. Rufus W. Clark, of Michigan. (.Ap-
plause.) '1 here is nothing more for me to say, but that every-
body knows and everybody loves Rufus W. Clark.
COL. GRIFl'irilS: I have got to say a word on this sub-
ject. All the kindness of Judge Whitehead's remarks this morn-
Mig at the nomination of tiie President-General, and the mem-
ory of all the !>ast years of goodness, would make m.e, if the
ladies were not here, hug every one of you.
The Rev. Dr. Clark bus come here to meet you every year, no
imtler where wc have met, and his dear, sweet smile, his kind-
iK-ss of heart, Ills ho!ie.-.t grasp of the hand, have made a friend
of every one of you. (Ap[ilause.) I will .second tliat nomina-
ti'ii, not only on account of all oi his good qualities, but in
ord'.i that Maryland may bestow upon each and every c;i(: oT
y.Ji! a blessing so sincere for what you hive done for us to-day.
Theie are no words that can express what is right in my heart
here.
A UELEG.\TE : I move that nominations be closed for ihe
office of Cliaplain-Gcne-ral. Seconded.
MR. SMITH (Mich.): My frivnds upon the delegation think
it would be improper for Michigan to receive all these double
honors without thanking this Congress for them. A nu'dern
p.iet, and a very minor poet, has put into Ivvo lines the sentiment
which voices our hearts; it is humorous. Fie says:
"I much prefer the taffy v. hile I live,
To all th'.- ei)itaph(y) you can give."
(Laughter.)
We thank the Congress fur these honors.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL WARPILLD: If there are no
further nomination for the office of Chaplain-General, it has been
moved and seconded that nominations be closed and that the
Secretary cast the unanimous v(jte of this Congress for Rev.
Rufus Clark as Chaplain-General.
-Motion carried u.naniiuraisly.
REV. RUFUS CLARK: "To my faults you are very mild;
to my virtues very kind." As I look over this distinguished
ajseuibly and recall the services and the names of the men
who have been elected as officers here, and have thought over
their ancestry, which has been referred to, it lias led me to a
question as to who my ancestors were. Perhaps some of you
might like to know. One member from whom I qualify, I am
proud to say, came from the State of Islassachusetts ; another
from Virginia. The former had the distinction of not being
remembered very long in his day and time, but I remember him
well, and knew him well; but he served h.is country as a pirate,
and I think that if he lived to-day and under the ruks of
modern warfare he ^sould be hung. He sailed under a letter
of marque. He served his country as a sailor and also as a
soldier. As a soldier he was one of the first American soldiers
to enter Boston after its evacuation by the British, and he was
a little man. He told me of the story of its being a very cold
day v/hen they went into Boston, and to enable him to keep
himself warm he crawled Into a baker's oven. He had some rela-
tives by the name of Dunn, and one of ihe children asked of my
distinguished ancestor what, if the baker started his fire during
the night, would they call him? One suggested that they call
him "Captain Baked Beans"; another suggested that he might
be called "A Little Overdone" (Dunn). But he was a com-
patriot and was well-known to some of the ancestors of those
who are here, because he served under your ancestors and
obeyed orders.
I want to say just this one word to those who have spoken
here to-day: that one of the great delights of meeting men
here on this floor from year to year is not only the assurance of
their confidence, but is the reassuring and cheering pleasure of
their friendship for us to meet hand to hand and have heart
beat to heart.
The other ancestor I qualify from came from Virginia; so we
meet from the North and the South, and we have bridged that
line, whatever line there was, between the North and the South.
And we will bridge it bet\\een the East and the West. And we
will stand in history distinguished for this fact, that we repre-
sent the one organized body of the United States of a fraternal
character; the one singly body of this character that stands, not
for the East, or for the West, or for the North, or for the South,
but for a united nation, (Applause,) I thank you, Mr, Chair-
man, for your very kind words in introducing me.
GENERAL ANDERSON: I wish to propose a vote of thanks
to Captain Samuel Eberly Gross for his fr'ithful, zealous and
efficient service as Secretary-General of this Society.
Motion seconded and carried.
JUDGE HANCOCK: I move that the Secretary-Genera! be
authorized to collate and publish the proceedings of this con-
vention in a manner, .according to his discretion, suitable for
the purpose.
MR. BATES: I second the morion. I desire to say that i:
is a very desirable way m which to publish tb.e proceed. n ;s of
our Congress for the Secretary to have the discretion to 't/ublish
them as he thinks best.

Motion' tarried.
JUDGI'^ \VJHTEHE.\D: When it was reported to me that
we were to meet in the District of Columbia ihi.; year, and
that the invitation had been accepted, 1 was also told that the
Society of the District of Columbia mteiidd to give us the
grandest entertainment this Congress e\er received from the
hands of any Society. I doubted very much the ability of the
Society of the District of Cuhmibia to do that. I remembered
Cleveland and Detroit and other places where our kind treat-
ment I thought could not be exceeded by any possibility. But
how can 1 dc^cribe? What words can I use to give full mean-
ing to the feelings of my heart when I look back upon the last
three days in t'-.e City of Washington and the attentions we have
received at the hands of the District of Columbia Society. There
is no word in the English language that I know of to give a
proper adjective to the word "reception." We have been re-
ceived with open hearts and open hands; we have been carried
around the city in cars; we have beia feted and received; and
here we are to-day, the recipients of this wonderful hospitality!
The only thing we can do is to tender to the District of Colum-
bia Society our heartfelt thanks f^'r this most magnificent recep-
tion received at «heir hands. (Applause.)
A DELEGATE: On behalf of the Sta^e of Massachusetts,
which represents in numbers the largest Society in the associa-
tion, it gives mc great pleasure to second the motion oftercd by
Judge Whitehead.
MR. WALTER S. LOGAN : No man knows better than I do
what the District of Columbia has done for us. They have
labored night and day, week-days and Sundays, for the last
six months to give us what we have enjoyed during the last
three days. I thought that when we had the convention in New
York we ntade a record; we got to Pittsburg, and found New
York wasn't in it. \\"e came to Washington, and find that noth-
ing has be-n in it. The National Society of the S. A. R. are
beggars; they cannot hold a national convention unless some
generous constitutent Society furnishes them the opportunity.
When we were debating the question as to where we should
hold the next convention, I said to them that there was a pro-
vision of the Constitution which prevented me from ever being
elected again ; and besides that, I could not get the votes if there
were no such provision in the Constitution ; and I wanted to
make this Congress the grandest that had ever been held, and
that I didn't know of any place in the United States where I had
more friends tlian in the District of Columbia. So we voted to
hold the Congress here. They all went to work — I was going
to mention some names, but it isn't necessary for you to know
the names I would mention, anyway. I simply add, therefore,
to what the other members who have spoken on this motion have
said my own tribute to what the members of the District of Col-
umbia Society from Earner down have done. If I had my way
about it, I would in some way get a treasury for the National
Society of the S. A. R. I would send next week to the Philip-
pines to capture a treasury, if 1 could not get it any other way.
I would do something to get a treasury, and then I would want
to hold the National Congress in Washington every year. I
haven't the eftroniery to propose, as things stand now, that it
shall be held here every year, for I think they need a year's
rest after what they have been doing the past year. But some
time within the next hundred years I hope we shall come back
to Washington, when it will be a greater city than it is now ;
when it will be a greater Society than it is now, for the Society
is growing every time we meet. But we cannot find a more de-
voted body of members, men who will work harder to make Tie
entertainment a success, than the District of Columbia Society;
as all the members of it have done this tiirie.
I am not willing to. rest this upon the simple resolution of the
Society. I want to extend to the District of Columbia Society
my personal thanks for what they have done for me. (.Vpplause.)
COL. LOGAN: I rise in behalf' of Pennsylvania to second
the motion of Judge Whitehead in thanking the District of
Columbia for the magnificent entertainment they have given us.
A year ago Pennsylvania thought we were in it, but we are
down here with our hats in our hands admitting that we are
away back. W^e have had a most magnihcent entertainm.ent, and
I don't believe any other State is going to be able to reach the
pace the District of Columbia has set in our entertainment.
MR. BATES: It would certainly be ungracious if we should
leave out of the ceremony the one who has coniributed so
much, perhaps more than any one else, to the success of this
ci)iif(-n.nce ; to the success of this Society. I know I vuicc the
setitimint of all, th.it the lli.iiiks of this Congress are due to
our E,\-l'iesidciit-G'iKTal, Waller S. Li.)g;in, of our Sociity, iuv
the most ellicieiit and able maniM r in which he has conducted the
aiTairs of tin: S'^^icty. (.Applause.;
PRESIDENl-GEiNERAL WAKFIELD: 1 he gcnilennn is
out of order. The motion is on the question of ih.e coutiesies
extended to us in W''ashiiiglon.
}doiion carried unanimously that a hearty vote of thanks be
tendeied to the Society of the Di;itrlct of Columbia.
MR. NOP.LE D. EARNER: I only want to say, in behalf of
District of Columbia, tl'.at we do not claim any e.vira credit for
what we have done. Our delegates have travelled all over this
country, to various cities, and have enjoyed the hospitality of
the various siicleiics. W'c have tried to see what we could do
for you; we have done the best we coidd ; and we rejoice that
our elYorts are approved by the Society. W'e are not quite
through with oar programme, and we trust that the Vv'ind-up will
be as satisfaciuiy. \V'e are very glad that we have been able to
gratify you in any way. (.'^ipplau: e.)
PRESIDENT-GENERAL WARFIELD: Mr. Bates, of
Michigan, moves that the thanks of this Society be extended
to our retiring I'reiidenl-Geiioral Logan for the able and im-
partial manner in which he has administered the ollice, and the
liberality he has shown, and the work that he has done for the
good of our Society.
GENERAL J. C. BRECKINRIDGE: I ask for a rising
vote.
Motion carried unanimously by rising vote.
PRE5IDENT-GENER.AL W'ARFIELD (to Mr. W. S.
Logan: I take great pleasure in extending to you ilic thanks of
this Congress.
MR. W. S. LOGAN: I want to thank you.
.MR. BRIGGS (Tex.) : I move that the thanks of thi. Con-
gress be tendered to the Daughters of the American Revolution
of the District of Columbia for lite kindness and hospitality
w'nich they have extended to us.
?iIotion carried.
JUDGE HANCOCK: It has -ieen my good fortune to read
very carefully the Constitution and By-laws of this Society. I
find in that Constitution no order or system of business. It is
a thing that we very much need. The order of business can
possibly be fi.xed up by each particular President ; but a system
which will enable us lo transact our business rapidly, system-
atically atid thoroughly should be in some v/ay framed by this
Society. I now move:
"That the Executive Committee be authorized and directed to
frame an order and system of business to be presented to this
Society at its next annual convention in the form of a by-law."
PRESIDENT-GENERAL WARFIELD: The Chair fully
agrees with Judge Hancock's miotion. All those 111 favor will
please say aye.
}vIotion carried.
'MR. WALTER S. LOGAN : Since we last met, in fact, since
a very recent time, the Society has lost by death o:ie of its m.ost
distinguished sons. General Estey, President of the \'ermont
Society, who died only a short lime ago. The last time I saw
him — 1 think it was the last time you saw him — was at a meet-
ing of our Board of ^Managers at New York, in October; he
was with us then, heart and soul. The last thing he said to me
was: "Logan, we are g^jing to make the National Congress in
the District of Columbia the grandest success we have ever had."
And he s-.-t to work to do his part to carry out that resolution.
He has always been a consistent, hardworking member of the
Society. In his native State he was loved and honored by every
one. Throughout the nation he was honored and loved by every
one who knew him; and his State and the nation moiir:v;d his
death when he died. I wish to introduce the following reso-
lution.
RESOLVED, By the National Ccngress of the Sons of the
American Revolution now in session in the City of Washington,
that a committee consisting of five compatriots be appointed by
the Chair to prepare memorial resolutions upon the death of
General Julius Jacob Estey, late President of the \'ermont So-
ciety, for publication in the proceedings of this Congress; and
that a cortiil.^d copy of the resolution be transmitted to the
family of the deceased.

I have talked all I propose to talk since this convention opened,
and I think you have had as much of my talk as it is necessary
that you should have. I therefore take great pleasure in in-

patriot David J. Hill, Assistant Secretary of State.

without a single word of preliminary, let me thank you for the
privilege of presenting to a company so eager to greet tiiem, the

disi)osed to say a few words at this moment.

COMPATRIOT THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT- Mr. Toastmaster, ^Ir. Presi-
dent, Compatriots (applause) and feliow Americas (applar.se).
It is a pleasure to take part in greeting you this evening. So-
cieties that cultivate patriotism in the present by keeping alive
the mciTiory of what we owe to the patriotism of the past fill an
indi?pcnsab!e function in this Republic. (Ajiplause.) You
come here to-night from every quarter, from eveiy State of the
Republic and from the islands of the sea. ( Applause.") For you
see, gentlem.en, the Republic has put up its flag in the islands of
the sea, and the flag will stay there. (Applause.)
And glad I am to meet you iiere to-night, you the sons
of the statesmen and soldiers, the descendants of the statesmen
and soldiers who fought to establish this country in 1776. i .A.p-
plause.) Some of the older among you, and fathers of others,
fought with no less valiancy, wearing the Blue or the Gray, in the
Civil War. (Applause.) I welcome you here; and may we now
show our fealty to the great men who did the great deeds of
the past, not alone by words, but by deeds. May we prove our-
selves true to them, not nierely by paying homage to their mem-
ory, but by so shaping the policy of this great Republic as to
make it evident that we are in it unworthy of our sires. (.Vp-
plause.) They did justice, and we will do justice. (Applause.)
And the}' did justice as strong men, not as weaklings, and we
will show ourselves strong men and not weaklings. (Applause.)
I see before me men who lived in iron times; men who did
great deeds. I see here a delegate from Kentucky who served
under Farragtit in the great days. (.Applause.) I see the de-
scendant of a man from Connecticut who was called "Brother
Jonithan." (Applause.) All around the table, ail around these
tables, are gathered men the names of %\hose ancestors stand
not only for righteousness, hut also for strength. For both q;nli-
ties, gentlemen, are essential. Righteousness tlnds weakness
but a poor yr.k-e-fellovif ; with righteousness must go strength to
make that righteousness of avail. (Applause.)
And in the name of the mighty men of the past, I ,Tsk each
man here to do his part in seeing that this nation remains true;
in th-ed, as well as in w'>rd, to (he ide.^h of ll;e past (ap(ilau ■■') ;\
to remenil.ier th.tt \s c cm tm more alYnrd to --how wr;ikne>;s tl'.anl
we can affejrd to do wiotvj, ; thai where wrong has iiecn doiiej
by any one, the wu 'nv;doer <-li;ill In- punished (applause); but;
that we .^lirill not halt ni any great work because some man hasi
happened to do ure>iic. ( Aiijjlause. ) j
ILinor to tlie .statesmen of the past; may the .stitesnien of;
the present stiive to live up to the e.Kample th.it tliey set. [lunor'i
to the army and na\y of the past (applause) ; aihl honor to'
those gallant Aintricans wearing the uiuform of the American'
Republic who in the arnty and navy of the present day uphold!
it; who in the army and navy of the present daj' upliold glori-j
ously the most gionous traditions of the past. (.Applause.) 1
1 have been down to-day to Annapolis to see the graduating'
class of the Naval Academy; and it would have done your
he.'.rt gO'.id to See those fine, manly, upstanding young fellows that'
looked every m.m straight in the face without flinching, andj
to feel that the honor of the Republic is pretty safe in their:
hands. (Applause.) j
And now another thing, Compatriots of th.c Society of thei
Sons of the American Revolution. We ai^c Americans; and that!
means that we treat Americanism as a matter primarily of spirit'
and purpose, and in tlie broadest sense regard every rnari as a]
good American, whatever his creed, whatever his birthplace, ifj
he is true to the ideals of this Reimblic. (Applause.) )
I was glad to see those young fellows to-day; I am glad to-j
n.ght to meet representatives of the navy like you. Admiral'
Watson (applause) ; and of the anny. like you, General Breckin-i
ridge. (Applause.) 1 am glad that we as Americans have cause!
to be proud of the Army and Navy of the United States to-day,!
as we had in the past. j
1 ask you now to join with me in drinking to the Itealth of
the men who in the past have upheld the honor of th.e flag.'
and of those who during the last three years have =0 valiantlvj
upheld it at a time wlicn we of this generation "needed it. To
their health! (Toast drunk standing, amidst loud and continued
applause.) I thank you, fellow .'\mericans. and I tliiid^ you
make it evident that you intend that the flag sliall stay put.
(Applause.) - i
TOASTMASTER HILL: Compatriots, we have had a great'
honor and a great pleasure, and I am sure it is in otir hearts to
thank the President of the L'nited States for his presence
and his words of inspiration.
The National Society of the S. A. R. has had many disiin-
guished Presidents, and it has taken several of them from the
State and City of New York; and, compatriots, when a Connec-
ticut boy goes to New York to be a man and a lawyer, the
probability is that he will be a great man. If he happens to be de-
scended from such a man as Thomas Hooker, who led his little
flock to found a church in Connecticut, he will be a pious man.
(Laughter.) If he have among his kinsfolk the ancestor of a
Governor like Robert Treat, he will be a man well under disci-
pline. If he be descended from the ancestors of Grant and Sher-
man, he will be a brave man. The pious, the well disciplined.,
the brave are present with us in the person of the Ex-President
of the National Society, Hon. Walter Seth Logan, of New York. ,
HON. WALTER SETH LOGAN: The Sons of the Ameri- i
can Revolution do well to cherish the memiory oi the fathers, andj
to intbed in enduring history the record of their deeds. V.'e are!
made in part of what we inherit.
But v.-e are in much larger part the product of our own
achievements. If the" memory of the fathers is an incentive to :
us to do still nobler deeds than they did, then that memory is ;
worth cherishing from the cradle to the grave, and from genera- ■
tion to generation. But if we simply rely on the fame of our .,
ancestors, and make no exertion for ourselves, then their glory 1
becomes our shame. j
The blue blood of ancestry is by no means to be despised, but :
it is the red blood of achievement that gives life and vigor to j
personal character and makes national history. j
We know that the sons will be worthy of their splendid oppor- '
tunities, not so much because their fathers stood in the trenches i
at Bunker Hill, followed "Mad Anthony at Stony Point, and ,
riished the breastworks at Yorktown, as because we have seen '
that the sons themselves have never flinched when duty and
danger lay in the same direction. It was red blood and not blue
blcxod that went into the bu-h at Guasimas. and up the hill at ,
San Juan. It was red blood and not blue blood that stood on
the decks and behind the guns of our nation's men-of-war at
iManila Bay and otT Santiago Harb'^r. It was red blood and not
blue blood that during the past hve years has carried th.e flag

twelve hundred miles farther east and se\'eu thousand miles
farther west than it ever went before. The distinsuished mem-
ber of the Empire State Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution, who is now President of the L'nited States, won
the hearts of his countrymen, not because of what his ancestors
did in the Revolution, but because of what he himself has done
for his country atid his kind. The heart of no American is fuller
of red virile blood than the heart of Theodore Roosevelt.
Let the fact that the fathers did be only another reason why
we should do. I bclive in the strenuous life. It is the only
life worth living. I believe in the life of contiriuous achieve-
ment, and when I can achieve no more may I be gathered to
my fathers.
I am not one of those who think that the need of patriftisni
is past; that all we have to do now is simply to gather the fruits
from the tree that the Fathers planted. No; there are more
trees to be planted in the year 1902 than there were in the year
1776. There never were so many questions frouglit with untold
interest to humanity that had to be settled by any generation
before us as have to be settled now by ours. \\"e are right here
and now up against problems of such supreme importance that
all the problems of the past pale before them. Need I mention
them? Go to the centres of finance, the centres of trade, the
centres of industry, to the homes of the people, and you will
find them staring you iti the face. Go to Wall Street or Broad-
way, to Lifth Avenue or ihe East Side, to Exchange or bank or
factory, to the palace or the hovel, and you will hear the cry
coming up from every side. What is to be the end of it all.
With billion-dollar combinations of capital on one side and
strikes of a hundred thousand workmen on the other, there can
be no Rip Van Winkle sleep in our generation.
And yet, my friends, I am an optimist of the optimists, I
believe the Lord made the world better than I could have made
it myself if I had had the contract. I beheve that the God of
Hosts is with u.s. I believe the right solution will be found and
that we are emerging from the darkness of infancy and ignor-
ance into the bright sunlight of maturity and knowledge.
But the reason I believe it, is because I see that the men of
our generation are coming to value the red blood of achievcinf nt
more tlian the blue blood of ancestry, and because 1 see th.ut tlic
sons are worthy of the fathers — yes, belter than the faihrrs. The
problems of our day are more troublous than the problems v.itii
which the George the Tiiirds nfliictcd our f.uhcrs, but the meti
who liave them to settle are more capable even than the fathers
were' of applying a v.-ise, vigorous and efticient remedy. < )ur
fathers found a Washuigton when they needed him most. We
shall find our leader when we need him most.
Perh.ips he is in the White House now.
TOASTMASTER HILL: Compatriots, I had hoped that we
should ne.xc have the plea>ure of listening to the President elect
of the National Society. I wondered, when I looked about and
saw his empty place, where he had gone, for I know that a
descendant of that Four Hundred of IMaryl.'md — red blood rather
than blue blood — that saved the army of Washington on Long
Island, could never turn his face away from his friends. I
understand now that he simi)ly went out for ammunition.
(Laughter.) I have the honor, compatric-ts, to present to you
the President elect of the National Society, Hon. Edwin Warfield
of Mar>laiid. (.Applause.)
'Ihiee cheers were gu'en for President-General Warfield.

HON. EDWIN WARFIELD.
PRESIDENT-GENERAL WARFIELD; Mr. Toastmaster
and compatriots, it would be a very hard heart that would not
be touched by the sweet strains of "Maryland, My Maryland."
(.\pplause.)
I am here to-night because I am a native cf Maryland. Our
elo(iueut Toastma-^ter could not understand why I left this plat-
form. (Latighter.) I didn't leave it sooner, because the Chief
E.xecutive of this great nation was here; but when he left the
attraction at the other end of this hall was too great for me (in-
dicating the Ladies' Gallery — (Applause). There is not a Mary-

it was li'.e valor of your sires that made this gieat Republic pos-
sible. (Applause.) 1 am proud of you; there never was assem-
bled in Washington, not excepting the Senate of the United
States, a handsomer body of men. (Applause.) You all remem-
ber that the I'resident of the District of Colui'iibia Society an-
iiounctd to-day from the platform in our convention hall that we
were to be addressed by distinguished Senators and brilliant
orators. I know that you are wailing to hear from them. We
have them here, renowned ihruughont the land ; we have one
hrrc from that Slate that has furnished to this Union three great
Presidents, (Applause.) We have another who comes from
that grand old connnonwealth tliat gave us Daniel Webster. (.Ap-
plause.) My compatriots, you will have njany opportunities of
hraring mc during the ne.xl year; and I do not intend to detain
you longer, but will give way to these gentlemen who are now-
here.
TOASTMASTER HILL: Gentlemen, we have not only had
tlie honor of the presence here of the President of the United
States, but the ad\ice and consent of the Senate have been given
to these proceedings. I will not be a harrier between you and
the fulfrllment of your expectations longer. We have two of
the noblest Romans of them ■all, whom we are anxiously waiting'
to hear. (Applause.) One of them has been made inevitable as
the next speaker by the aTiticipatory reference of the last. He
represents that great State of Ohio, which has given three great
Presidents to the Republic. I have the pleasure, gentlemen, of
presenting to you Senator Hanna, of Ohio. ( Applause.)
HON. M.ARCUS A. HANNA: ^Nlr. President, Toastmaster
and Sons, this is the first time that I have had the pleasure of
meeting with members of this organization. I came to-night,
not to make a speech, but to be sworn in. (Laughter.) But
after hearing the creed of the organi.^.ation, as announced by the
Preside;it of the Ignited Slates, I think I will have to stay on
the probation list a little while longer. However, I am glad to
meet with you; glad to have the honor of being a member in
prospect of your organization after I have taken the oath. 1
haven't had my share of champagne; therefore I am not fit for
it. (Laughter.)
It was some time before I knew v/hethsr I was eligible to
membership in this organization. When I was asked to join
I commenced looking back for the first time in my life over my
ancestry., I found on my father's side that they were all Qu.ak-
ers; therefore, they could not have fought in the Revolution.
(Laughter.) And I began looking up the other side of the
house, and after going back I found a colonel or a captain or
somebody that had really fought in the Revolution. ^ly Quaker
ancestry has been a handicap to me in life, because it has made
me a man of peace always (laughter and cheers) ; and I never
felt quite certain of myself when I got among warriors, particu-
larly the grandsons of warriors.
However, if tliis association will turn a little of its effort and
attention to the more commonplace tilings of life, I tliink I can
give you some good advice. I don't mean politics, gentlemen.
(Laughter.) I mean .the duties of citizenship; which are not
confined to banqueting halls, nor good times generally, nor pass-
ing resolutions. There is a wide field for the class of men
v.'ho belong to this organization as a nucleus from which may
radiate an effort in this country under conditions which are
confronting us to-day, alluded to by one of tlie speakers, of
great affairs and of greater- evetits ; where a small number of
patriots with something to do with the internal affairs of their
country, by effort and by example, may make their influence
felt in all strata of society, beginning at the bciiom. (.Applause.)
It is a grand thing, a noble thing, to i-'dulge in these patriotic
meetings and patriotic efforts; especially, wlien we consider this
Kreat cosmopolitan people, growing with such r.^pidity in popu-
lation as almost to pour over the whole domain from the
.•\tlantic to the Pacific; men from every nation and from every
clime; used to all 'forms of government; respectin.g only tl;at
feature of govcrrmien.t which has the power cent-:red to cr,.ntrql.
1 he [)atriotic feeling of the American people will always prr-
tni Ate our country. Liberty is in her; we breath it and we
absorb it. Put, for all that, there is work to do that the fruits of
It may be kuuw to all classes and all men. Wc have an educa-
tional v.ork to do as American citizens; v/e must not be bound
up selfishly in our own affairs an in normal conditions — which
are prosperous conditions — in this counti-y. We must not forv,;et
that wc are guardians ; -that we have war.ls coming to us from
e\cry shore in the world, who are an e.-^pecial care a.nd irsponsi-
bility. Let us, fh.en, nut only give them the benefit that cfnucs to
ui from tlte blue and red blood of which we are so pruud ; but let
us feel that it is our duty to devote a part of our time to the
consideration of their conditions. 1 hat duty should be to lift
them up, and not bear them down (.applause) ; and the duty
is magnified and multiplied in proportion as we encounter ignor-
ance. These people must be taught liberty; must be taught that
liberty is not license; but that self government comes in the
nature of things from the patriotism which fills our atmosphere.
In the work of this org.inization I can see the opportunity to
make the effort and to make names for ourselves tnat shall go
down to posterity. (Applause.) Make it along the lines pro-
posed by the President of the United States. Do not spare patri-
otism or high ideals, and do not admit that they arc too high,
that they may not be reached by tlie lowest. (Applause.)
TO.ASTM.ASTER HILL: The place of Massachusetts in the
history of the Revolutiijn is well known. That great State of
our Lhiion has always been rcpiestnted in the Senate of the
United States by able and distinguished men. Never in its
history has it been represented by a truer patriot or by a more
cultivated scholar than at the present day. We arc proud and
happy tc; have at our board to-night, and to have the pleasure
of listening to, the Senator from Massachusetts, Hon. Henry
Cabot Lodge.
HON. HENRY CABOT LODGE: Mr. Toastmaster, Massa-
chusetts needs no backing up. A committee hearing at ten
o'clock in the morning; a meeting of the Senate at twelve; a dis-
cussion of the politics of North Carolina in connection with the
Philippine bill at two o'clock, is a meagre preparation for speak-
ing even in the briefest manner to such an assemblage as this.
Yet it is the only preparation that I have had.
As I have sat here to-night and listened to the speeches that
ha\-e been made, it has seemed to me that the lesson of the patri-
otism which this Society commemorates by its existence is one
that cannot be learned too often. We cannot do better, in mak-
ing up our own patriotism and our own standards of duty to
our country, than to look back at the history of the Revolution.
And oat of the time in which wc give all honor to the states-
men and the leaders in the various States, our thought turns
most readily, when we would evoke the image of the Revolu-
tion, tO'the army; it turns to the great figure of Washington.
(Applause.) It turns to that army which followed him over
the ice at Trenton; wintered with him through the cold of
\'allcy F'jrge, and, accompanied by the legions of France, marched
soiuh with him to the crowning victory at Yorktown. (Ap-
plause.) And yet they were not always successful; they had
their defeats; they had their troubles. There were occasions
when they even rose in mutiny because Congress had failed to
pay them. Yet we think always still of the ragged Continentals
before v/e think of the men who didn't vote their pay. They had
their critics, very severe criticism; and yet I think the opinion of
posterity goes with Washington rather than with the emiinent
gentlemen who thought it would be well to substitute Gates in
his place. They had their critics ; and yet we turn to them when
we call up the image of the past, rather than to the Conway
Cabal. Yes, they had their critics, and they demanded then some-
thing more than c^riticism; they demanded justice. .And the
justice which perhaps they did not receive at the time in such
measure as they deserved — for it is not to be forgotten with how
small a reward or consideration they were mustered out — the
justice which failed them then, history has not failed to award.
(Applause.) The justice of history is but cold comfort to the
living man. When we find cause to criticise or to condenm, let
us nut do it until we are sure of all our facts; let us remember
that as we in this great Republic would seek to do justice to
all men, there are no men who so deserve the most e.xact jus-
tice as the soldiers w^ho wear the uniform of the L^nited States.
(Applause.) That is all I would ask for them; that is all that
the lesson of the Revolution would teach us. I do not believe
that the sons are unworthy of the sires; I do not believe that
the Army of the United States and the Navy of the United
States are unworthy descendants of the men who folluwed
Washington, who follov.xd Grant, and who fought in our own
day and generation against Spain. (Applause.)
I ask for them in their lifetime simple justice; and that, I
think, they have earned. Give them justice; remember all the
trial,, all the fatigues, al! the dangers, all the perils they con-
front. No American ran refuse it.

Gcnlk-mcii, it is easy, in these sheltered walls nt home, to
critirise men struggling; in the tropical iiuu'le, scattered abuut

that condemnation go out without sulhciMit piuof on the heads
of all that f^reat organization ku'.wn as the American Aimy;
because it is not a reptihliean army, auii it is nut a (iLiuocralic

American peoiile listen to every condition and to all the facts.
V/hen they h.avc heard these, then let them judge; then let them
do justice to the Ameiiean Army, whose himiers shine \s-itli
great names from Yoikiown te) Manila, and whose record is a
glory in the aimals of the Republic. (Applause.)
Three cheers were given for the old Bay State.
TOASMASTER HILL: There is still something left for us
upon your progranmie ; but before we proceed to it, let us have a
song from the quartet wlio are present, and v,ho \\\\\ no>v sing
tor ns.
The Quartet sang "Sunshine," by Fred Schilling.
TOAST.M ASTER HILL: The next speaker is known to us
of the Society of the District of Columbia ns an o.Ticer of the
United States who has rendered distinguished service to the
United States in a civil position; as a patriot whose luart is
always astir with the sacred memories of the past, and wlio has
the gift of arousing in the hearts of his fellows the chords of
the past and of the glories of our country. I have the pleasure
of presenting to you the Hon. Tames 1'. Du Bois.
HON. JAaIES T. du BOIS: Mr. President and compatriots,
the Germans have a saying that ''for the happy, the hour never
strikes." But when I look;ed at the time just now and saw how
swiftly the hours have tlown under the benign influence of both
physical and mental pabulum, I feel like appropriating the lan-
guage of Thompson, who sold a horse to Smith, representing that
it was only five j"ears old. Several days afterwards, Smith met
Thompson, and he said: "Thompson, the director of the Santa
Fe Railroad told me just now that he saw you drive that horse
into this town over fifteen years ago." Thompson looked at
Smith in dismay for a moment, and then said pathetically to
Smith: "My God, how time does fly." (Applause.)
Some people are so nervously constituted that they consider
every incident an accident, and every accident a calamity, and
in times of war every pass from camp to camp according to the
caprices of victory. The volcanoes of the American Revolution
brought a great many such men as these to the stirface ; and
some of them were like the old schoolmaster who was brought
before a Board of School Directors for e.xamination. W'hen
they asked him: "What is the shape of the earth?" he replied:
"Well, gentlemen, I will teach that it is either round or fiat;
anything to please the boys." (Applause.) Some of these men
were so weak-kneed and timid that they resembled the knock-
kneed man who was so completely knock-kneed that whenever
he went out to take a walk one leg seem to say to the other,
"Please let me pass this time and I will let you pass next."
(Laughter.)
To that band of spiritless men, James Smith, a signer of the
Declaration of Independence, who marched the first Pennsyl-
vania Company from New York to the East, did not belong.
When disaster came v.ith its chilly blast to General Washington,
and the friends of yesterday fell thick and fast away from him,
Robert M'->rrif. the greatest, fin.ancier of his day, itood steadfast
by the im.mortal Commander, with his money and his mind.
(Applause.) In a .moment of great emergency, one of Morris's
privateers arrived \v-ith ninety tons of lead. Morris promptly
gave that lead to Washington in bulk, and Washington promptly
gave it to Lord Cornwallis in r^'^mded lu:nps, and Lord Corn-
wallis promptly returned the compliment by unconditional sur-
render. When the British Commissioner Johnson offered Gen-
eral Joseph Dregg $50,000 and a high. civil po=iti"n if he v,-ou!d
assist in comp^•lIing a speedy submission of the Colonies to
Great Britain, he spu.rned indignantly the bril'C whh these im-
mortal words: "I am not worth purchasing; but such as I am,
the King of England is noi rich enough to buy nn-/' I say tiiere
were a great many men during the Revc)luti''n.ary War so timiii
ik-kneed that thev di/in't «eem to
the courajc
t'he old woman in the last Presidential campaign. I w.'is r:<lmg
on a trolley car. .and a? the car waited to let another car pass,
I noticed considerable ^excitement in the street. I stepped out
on the platform to see what was going on, ntid saw two little
bojs drawn up in fightitig array. One little boy said to the
other: "Yon are noihing luit a liitle goldbng, any\\:iy, and I
can prove it." Then the lillle silvcrLug went down, and the
little goldljug went de.wn heavily u!)on him. Suddeidy the
mother of the little goldbng took her boy by the trousers and
the collar and she hurried with him away as fast as possible.
The silverbug, always plucky, struggled to his feet and shaking
his list defiantly -at the retreating foe, h.e cried:- "You are noth-
ing but a goldbug anyhow, and so is your mother; and she is a
washerwoman." Instantly the mother took her little boy and
puslxd him towards the silverbug, ;md said: "Now, beiy, go fur
him Imd knock the bullion out of him." (Laughter.^
There were a great many in that Revolution who didn't have
the courage of this cild woman, because they would not fight and
would not uphold and support the brave neighbois who were in
front fighting for liberty and country. While such men were
quailing and shivering at the approaching shadows of defeat, the
f;,mous and chi\-alrous Captain Biddle, of the ill-starred "Ran-
d,dl," remained undismayed. While engaged in the combat with
the I'.ritish ship Yarmouth he was wounded in the thigh; but
he kept his place on declc amidst the blaze of battle, while many
of his weak-kneed neighbors were keeping their knees warm at
the fire, criticising the army. And as his life-blood was oozing
out he told his men to stand fast; and he issued orders \viih
calmness and decision until his good ship was blown to atoms,
until he and his brave men went dovvn to unknown graves.
Such were some of the men who stayed by Washington during
the blackest days of the Revolution to enable him to create and
baptize the flag in the name of freedom, in the name of self-
g(.>vernment, in the name of the sovereignty of the individual and
equal rights to all wdio might seek our shores. (Applause.)
That is now one hundred and twenty-six years ago ; yet we can
say without reserve that those thirteen stripes and fiv-e-pointed
stars have kept their sacred word. There have been party dema-
gogues and political mountebanks, we admit; there have been
feuds and cabals, and dangerous conspiracies; of that tlicre is
no question. There have been times when the v.dll of the peo-
ple was no longer the law of politics, but the law of politics was
tlie will of the professional politician. There have been times
\vhen the power of pelf overawed the spirit of patriotism, and
the lips of the place-hunter clung to the spoils system with the
hunger of a leechlike thing. There h.ave been times when some
men seemed to believe that liberty purchasd by the blood of the
citizen ought to lead to no other consummation than the cowardly
oppression of the people; there have been socialistic agitators
like Coxey and Brov/n, who marched their army of bedraggled
hoboes to the banks of the Potomac, only to find, beneath the
very shadow of the Capitol, that they and all mobs must "keep
off the grass."
But through all these scenes of natieinal vicissitudes that tiag
which found its being on the 15th of June, 1777, in the City of
Brotherly Love, has, in compatriots' hands, dissolved the clouds
of national danger, warmed the frozen lineaments of national in-
difference, and gilded every national hope with the pure and
genial splendor of its stars. And to-night it still lights the
great Republic to her lofty and splendid destiny. And. gentle-
tnent, right here permit me to say that beneath its ample folds
we may well remember the indestructible truth which was first
uttered in the name of England in Chinese waters, and then re-
peated by the brave Germanic people, that "Blood is thicker than
water"; always has been, always will be, and no power on earth
can change the Anglo-Saxon condition that now confronts the
human race. (Applause.)
In the keeping of our compatriots, that flag will never permit
the brutal hand of anarchy to pull down the proud name Mc-
Kinley has won. (Applause.) Nor can we forget that in his
name, and under his wise leadership, this country has crossed
the paths of national greatness with the strides of a giant, until
the princes of the earth bow before our industrial pro\s'css, and
prosperity sets us supremely upon her throne. Nor need I re-
mind you that
"It was on a dewy morning.
All in the month of i'^Iay.
And Dewey was the Admiral's name
Who took Manila Bay."
Do we now feel discotiraged? T don't think we do. (Applause.)
As the President has just said, God sent Old Glory there; God
evidently intends that Old Glory shall stay there; and what God
hath ioined tr-gether, let no man put asunder. (Applause.')
For has it ne't been trutiifully said tliat Lenealh the sands of
Luzon sleep our heroic dead, and from above that sacred soil
no foreign flag shall ever greet the dawn? Christ died to make
men holy; our heroes have dietl to make that people free; and

America, in God, goes marcliing on to the westward, where tlie
course of all plorious eirpirc tikes its nngniricent w.'iy. Need
I iitnirul you of 'tlint slarllin^ and complete anniliilatioii of a
inijihty fleet of fiylitiiit,; sliips in a few moments of time. Tt
was a Captain's light — for that wc have the hiyhest possible
authority, unle>s you go beyond the earth — and I am pror.c to
|)eli'"vc that impartial history will record that every man did
his duty, from the httle jack tar wlio oricu, "l here thr> come;
lit nic chanpc my Suntlay clotlies, and we will give them Hell,"
up to the Admiral who commanded the fleet. When tliose rough-
rifhrs swept the heiglits of San Juan, yon know, and 1 knuw,
riud the whole world knows, that those brave men and their
palLin! commander adorned a page of martial history v.'ith the
finest bit of lighting courage that has ever been recorded in the
lemple of Mars. And when the war Ijroke out nndcM- ^dongo-
lir.n skies, and the finest of tlic armed forces of the civilised
world gathered to scale the walls of Pekin, our great com-
patriot's voice lifted itself for mercy, justice and peace; and the
whole world listened, and peace and mercy came; and then, on a
gentle September day, you saw him st;inding in the Temple of
Music by the shores of the iidand seas, the ilhistrious President,
the victorious diplomat, the beloved of the 'nation, the friend of
mankind, and you saw him wnth a smile put forth his liand in
generous greeting to a fellow creature, and you sau' that fellow
creature strike him to death. Oh, v,'ou!d that we could put the
wliip in justice's hands, that she might lash such rascals naked
around the earth. Compatriots, our great compatriot dead, and
our gieat compatriot who has succeeded him shall live in our
hearts for ever. (Applause.)
TOASTMASTER HILL: There is still more oratory to
come that is well worth your waiting ; but before wc hear it
there is to be a presentation made to Ex-President Logan. The
presentation will be made by Judge W^hitehead.
JUDGE WHITEHEAD: Compatriot Logan, we have de-
lighted for the year past to call you President-Generah Now,
sir, you take your seat down with us, and we and you are equal.
But there is a record of the past which makes you superior to us
all, and I rise to speak to you in the name of those wdio delight
to honor you and to recall to you and to the compatriots who are
listening to the memories of that past.
In the month of .A.pril, 1SS9, a few patriotic citizens, fired by
the memories and recollections of that grand day commemorative
of the inauguration of George Washington as the first President
of the United States, met together in old Fraunce's Tavern, in
New York, and there began the inauguration of the Society of
the Sons of the American Revolution. They were few in num-
ber, very fevv' ; but they were fired in their heart of hearts with
that patriotism which tired their fathers in the establishment of
the independence of this great country; and to-night we see the
culmination of that 30th day of April, 1SS9, in this vast assem-
blage O-f compatriots -gathered here together to do honor to the
merits, to the patriotism, to the self-sacrifice of our ancestors.
That little gathering on that 30th day of April was c!ulminated
not only in this assemblage before us this evening, but in an
assemblage of i.^.ooo American citizens of thirt^z-nine States of
the Lhiion, wdio are meeting from time, as we are to-night, not
only in the banquet hall, but in the halls of deliberation, deliber-
ating to know what is best to be done for the interests of this
great association. And now there has come a time when it
has been thought best to make a Register of all the members of
the different societies of the S. A. R., and that great task was
entrusted to a Committee on Publication, of which Ploward
Dellaven Ross, of Delav.-are — that noble young man — was the
Chairman. (Applause.)
Through the munificence of you, sir (addressing Compatriot
V/. S. Logan), through your seif-sacritice, that work has been
completed, and I have the honor of presenting to you the first
volume issued from i\y-i press, and which you will find enclosed
in this little casket.
This casket is made from the wood taken from the Morris
Mansion, where lived once Mary Phillips, who loved George
VVashington, but who did not succeed in capturing his heart,
for it was reserved to Washington to gain a nobler prize. In
that casket is a part of the wood of Fraunce's Tavern, and a
piece of Connecticut oak. I believe, sir, you claim parentage
from Connecticut. That oak is a symbol of the strength and
vitality of the red blood that flows in your veins. You will find
••nclosed in this casket also the arms of the Logan family; and
'>pc*n it you will find inscribed a heart, a large heart, a hmr^
'■n'.Mematic of the heart which beats within your system, so full
'•f generous work, so full of generous self-sacrifice. I present
it and the casket to you in the name of the publisher, ?>[r. Louis
H. Cornish, and in the name of the Committee on Publication.
(Applause.)
HON. W. S. LOGAN: Mr. Toastmistcr, Judge Whitehead,
ladies and gentlemen, 1 thought this morning that I came fi(,m
Connecticut, but af!er hearing Judge Whitehead I have no iu<.a
whore I did come fn.
It is usual, so far as 1 'kuov.', hi all
well-condurted funerals to give the corp'^e at least twenty- fuur
hours' notice. That is not the way you do in the District of
Columbia.
I see you have referred, sir, very feelingly to the sacriiici s 1
have made in connection with th.c publication of the Register.
I'hose sacrifices consist in loaning Cornish a few hundred dt>l-
lars, for wdiich I have received my pay, with six per cent, in-
terest, \Vhen I could not get but four per cent, anywhere else.
(Laughter.) Just the same, I am v.'illing to take all the cr^Mit
for it.
You have referred, sir, to my distinguished administr;.;ion
as Pre^ident-Geneial. J was simply a sandwich man; I stood
between a great predecessor and a great succcssoi (applause) ;
and \sas made illustrious by the shadov.s falling benh ways.
(Applause.) This morning you were all my sons; this after-
noon J felt lonely; but this evening I console myself with, a
glimpse that I catch of something that 1 saw in the galleries and
in the di.<orways, and as soon as I can I am going to tr> to
make myself a grandfather to the daughters. So I don't care
whether Warfield has you for his sons or not. ( Laugiiter.)
Judge Whitehead, there is no man living from whom I would
be prouder to receive a gift than from your sweet, lovely and ven-
erable hands. (Applause.) I have been a member of the S.
A. R. ever since there v.'cre any, and as long as I have been a
member I have worshipped at the shrine of Judge Whitehead.
And as long as he continues upon this earth--and wc guarantee
him twenty years more — I shall be his worshipper.
Judge Whitehead, ladies and gentlemen, ilr. Cornish, and
all who are concerned in this job that has been put on mc to-
night, I thank you from tlic bottom of my heart. (Applause.)
Mr. Toastmaster, the funeral may go on.
TOASTMASTER PULL: I have risen, compatriots, with the
innocent purpose of peering about atnong the ladies to see if I
could discover the face of a distinguished Senator from New
York, the Hon. Chauncoy M. Depew. He was with us, but I
don't see his genial face just now. I will therefore ask that the
Hon. John Goode, from the Contmonwealth of Virginia, close
the spe;',king of the evening— or rather of this morning.
JUDGE GOODE: Mr. Toastmaster, ladies and gentletneii,
compatriots, this is a violation of the Bill of Rights. It is cruel
and unusual punishment for me to be called upon at this late
hour to take the place of the great orator, Chauncey iM. Depcw.
What can I say, what shall I say, after the many able and elo-
quent and exhaustive and instructive addresses to which we
have listened? There has been so much said, and, upon the
whole, so well said, that I will not presume to detain you but
for a fe'.v moments.
I am reminded of a story I heard once of two preachers. One
of them said to the other : "I have had many advantages over
you in this life ; I have had a college education ; I have a splen-
did library; I write out all my sermons carefully. But you have
had no college advantages; you have no library; you ne\-er write
a sermon ; and yet you are a brilliant success in the pulpit, while
I am a dismal failure." The other preacher said: "I can explain
that, and I tell you how it is. When you sit down in your study
to write out those sermons, the devil is at your elbow, peeping
over your shoulder, seeing what you write, so that he may go out
during the week and prepare the hearts of the people to resist
v/hat you are going to say on Sunday. But when I am going to
preach, the devil himself doesn't know wh.at I will say."
(Laughter.)
I am reminded of another story I heard at the Waldorf- Asto-
ria, a few years ago. One of the speakers said that there was
an old Congregational minister in Boston, who began his ser-
vices at 8:30 in the morning; prayed an hour; preached until
T2; took cold lunch; and I'nen preached lui'.ii sundoun. One
day he had preached from early morn to dewy eve. until he
fainted away. A good deacon ran np and threw some ice-water
in his face to resuscitate him. I'he old inan revived, rose,
looked around, and said : "Now, let the congregation rise and
sing the eighty-second Psalm. 'My bones have waxed faint,
because 1 have roared all diy long.'" (Laughter.)
Now, we have heard a great deal to-day about our common
country. I am gratified to know that my brethren h.tve enji.vL-d
their visit to this beautiful capital city of-tlve cmmtiy; our cr.i-
mon coimtry, upon which a beneficent Providence has l.ivi-iied
blessings and advantages such as have been bestowed up: mi no
other part of the habitable globe; the country of which .an .'\nier-
ican citizen said on an occasion like this: "It is bounded on the
north by the British possessions; on the south by the Gulf of
20.\

Mfxito; on llu- cast by ihc Alhmtic Ocean; on the west by the
I'acific Cicoaii." Another conipUriot, who h ni hcin dniiug,
thoiipht ho wouM iinprcnc on that, and a^lvid In I),' alluwcil to
j:ivc that toast: "'Anirrira, bouiHlfil on thr nortli by tho Nrirtli

satisCied with that, beniR a hillc e.xhihirali-d, olTered an anund-
nieiii, and said: "Let nu pniim^e ih.il U.>.;sl." ile s lid : "Amer-
ica, the I'niied States, bdimdid on tiie X( rih liv the Aurora
Borcahs ; on the south by tiie procession of the equinoxes; on
the c:ist by iirimeavcl chaos; on the west by the day of judg-
ment." (Lau.L;hter. )
I come from an ancient coninionweallh, the oKl Ci.immonwealtii
of \'irginla. (Apphinse.) Seme of onr good friends say tliat
we down in Virginia have nothing to boast of but euir anti(|ui-
tics ; that wc breakfast on tablets, dine on iiK.^numciUs, and sup
on tombstones. (Laughter.) And at the gre.il Cokmibian Ex-
positinn in Chicago some years ago, when tlie .great coinmon-
wealths of tlie West and our sister States, of \\hich we are so
proud, were making a magnificent c.\hiliit of tlieir industrial pro-
ducts, a wag facetiously remarked that Old Virginia iiad noth-
ing to show but George Washmgton's golden snuti box and
La<ly \\'ashington's lace handkerchief.
Now, niy friends, I am here to plead gnilly to the charge that
wc arc proud of the memories, the historic mementoes and hal-
lowed associations that cluster abont the name of that renowned
commoaweallb. I want to say — and I know it \sill strike a re-
spoiLsive chord in the breasts of my compatriots here — that the
people who take no pride in the lione.rable deeds of their ances-
tors are not apt to accomplish very much for themselves. (Ap-
plause.)
Now, as the preachers say, I want to improve this occasion; I
want to turn it to account. There is a great event to take place
ere long in tlii: old commonwealth. We are preparing to cele-
brate the tercentenary of the settlement of the Colony of James-
town, and I want to invoke the cordial and hearty co-operation
of my compatriots here in promoting that grand object. (Ap-
plause.) 1 may not be there to see it, but some of you will.
Jamestown v.as the cradle of the American Repulilic. When
the colonists came in the Susan Constant, the Discoverer and
the Good Speed, and landed on tb.e I3lh of May, 1607, at Janus-
town, they brought with them those three institutions which
have been enlarged and improved from generation to generation,
until they are now zealously guarded and cherished as the noblest
inheritance that belongs to man.
At Jamestown, the white man first met the red man for settle-
ment and civilization. Here the white man wielded the first axe
to cut the fir>t lug, to build the first log cabin, liere tlie first
lo.g cabin becrur.e a part of the first State capitol. Here was
laid the foundation of a nation of freemen, which has extended
its dominion and its millions across the Continent to the shores
of another ocean.
We want to combine the sentimental with the material ; we are
going to make requisition upi.'ii tlte orator and the {)oet, and we
intend to make a grand exhibit of the present industrial re-
sources of our State.
Now, my friends, in conclu;ie">n let me say that we do not bve
altogether on antiquities. When the war between the States
terminated, that people didn't sit down in ignoble and inglorious
case and fold their arms. No ; they went to work with a reso-
lute purpose and an indomitable will worthy of the heroic race
from which they sprang. Instead of calling upon Hercules for
help, they went to work to help themselves; and I undertake to
say — it is due to the truth of history — that no people have ever
exhibited greater recuperative energies since the beginning of
time. They have made more corn, more wheat, more tt'bacco,
produced more manufactures, built more miles of raib.vay. than
they ever did in the same number of years before. And the
growth of our cities is indeed marvelous. Take the magic City
of Roanoke in the southwest. A few years ago I knew it as a
vast wheat field; now it ha■^ a population of r:5,ooo and is a great
business centre. Take the City of Newport News. When I was
a candidate for Congress in 1S74, and landed at Newport 2\^ew5
upon the steamer from Norfolk, I saw two old dilapidated build-
ings there, and nothing more. Now it is a city with a papula-
tion of 2j,ooo. It has the finest dockyard on this hemisphere,
which built last year six large steamers, put upon the waters the
fastest battleship ailoat, and according to the late returns from
the Treasury it is second to New York as an export city.
Now, my friends, I mention this in no spirit of vain, glorious
boasting, but to remind you that we arc not content to live alto-
gether upon memories. We are proud of them; but the old State,
God bb-'-s her C\p[ilause), crowned with the traditions of his-
tory, and bc:iring m her hands the precious trophies of the past,
has llxed her eye upon the moming of a new existence; a morn
iiig sviili glorious sunshine, sweet with the dew of (lowers; a
morning th.it betokens a day of strenuous effort, induct ri:ii
growth, connucrcial greatness, i>eace and iirosperily, now :!nd
forever. (Applause.)

NATIONAL REGISTER, S. A, R. •
Of the 4.600 copies of the National Register subscribed for
there are 2,000 members who have not yet sent in their subscrip-
tion for the books they have ordered, altb.ough they have been
notified several times. These books will now be sent to them
C. O. D., unless otherwise instructed within the next ten days.
In connection with the publishing of this book, the man who
has done the work has met with some pretty small specintens
of humanity, and might make some vigorous remarks were it
not for the injunction of the man who m.ade the work possible,
to please the inembers and not to mind the expense.
.\s the publisher, I want to say that you have got more fur
your money than you e\er got before, and that if you don't
think so you can return the book and receive what you paid
for it.
The present edition will soon be exhausted, but the electro-
type plates have been saved, and if enou.gh subscriptions from
State Societies or members v.ho wish to present a number of
volumes to libraries are receis'cd this ccutiing fall, a special edi-
tion will be printed.
It is possible that an annual will be undertaken containing
the proceedings of the National Congress, to which will be
added the new members joining during the year and also cor-
rections and omissions to the first \olume. This will be illus-
trated and contain historical sketches and illustrations and will
be sold to members for $r.oo per copy.
COMMENTS.
I am in receipt of The National Register, which arrived sev-
eial days ago, antl I have wasted several hours in trjing to find
n y iitime in it, but had to give it up in disgust. It seems that
the pages are ail mixed up. all thr<")ugh the book. It is the
worst botch I ever saw, and I am surprised that you would let
a work of this kind get out in th;it .sha[>e. I will donate the
book to you if you will receive it, as it is of no use to me.
Very rcspectfullv,

I have just looked at the Register compiled by you, and must
express my disappointment that it does not contain an index.
It seems to me that its value is very seriously impaired by this
omission, and I would suggest that y(iu get up a comprehen-
sive index to go as a separate volume as a complement of this.

We got into one Army paper (the Register, the Journal did
not print the paper sent it) some account of the Congiess and
hope to get in anollur si-inicthing about our excellent National
Register, which shijuld invite the attention of many officers
that way, though men with a knapsack for library raturally
hate books, and other libraries in the Philippines are sicklied
o'er with the pale cast of foreign feelings, etc. I expected to
mail one of my extra copies to a friend there. How many
names of former members arc omitted? Both my Congress-
i(>nal relatives seem absent, possibly resigned or dropped when
they left the scene of meetings. An alphabetical list of all
names seems a seni qui non for the perfect utility of such a
book, otherwise searchers may find tlie fact actually in their
hands only by accident, as there is but little to trail ancestral
names. I wish through Mr. A. Howard Clark, or otherwise
you could have got the names of some of the accepted in the
Orient, but you have treated it as a society very kindly and
perhaps more might have seemed premature. -Another volume
is apt to be craved for'as soon as this is fairly off the shelves,
even if smaller. It may not come soon, but there is a world
that aclies for such pabulum if presentable.
Yours verv trulv,

I fully appreciate wdiat you say about Logan's relation to the
Re^:ister, and when I wrote this review of it. if I had thought
of It. I would h.ive given him full credit for what he has done
.ibcuit it. He i- certainly entitled t(i great credit, for this book
is a great monument to the etiterprise and' industry of both
him and your>elf. antl I fully believe that in time what you have
■ 'one to make it will be fully appreciated by the society. Would
it be possible to get a few additional copies of the Register,
as I think I can dispf)sc of them readilv after the receipt of
the books already ordered. GEORGE W. B.\TES.
My Dear Sir and Conii)atri<it — Recetvei! the National Regis-
ter and pleased with it. A \cry valuable work fcr our Society
and every member should have one. While our Ohit) Society
ranks fifth in numbers, \ve Iia\e only (.ne biogi apliical .sketch
and one portrait.
When we have two Presidents of the United States in otir
list and sever.al jcrospective ones and a goodly number of emi-
nerit jurists and soldiers and distinguislied citizens whose por-
traits and sketches wotdd have made an interesting addition to
the book.
You should have also given the key to the Jumel and Detroit
pictures so the names of the delegates r.ould have gone <lown
to posterity. 1 am in both, but who among my ten thousand
compatriots can point mc out?
Now my next "kick" is about your genealogical guide in the
Spirit of '76. Onr society is p,-itr;oi.ic and intended to inculcate
patriotic ideas and love for fuir country, the Declaration of In-
dependence and our glorious flag. And all that any Son of the
.\merican Revolution need to know that he is a lineal descend-
ant of a Revolutionary sire. And wh.y should he care whether
his ancestors came from h'urope, Asia or Africa?
The genealogical guide is someth.ing that not one out of a
thousand cares for. And why should you encumber your Spirit
of '70 with it? Those who want that information should get it
fro.-n a different source. However, I expect to continue my
subscription, ev'en ii it is not as entertaining as formerlv for
v.ant of space now taken up by genealogy.
Yours trulv,
JOHN W. HARPER.

From the Scranton limes, Monday, June 23, 1902.
f-^^/J"'- J-.'^'- Powderly, ex-mayor, ex-general master workni.ati
o. the Knights of Labor, ex-commlssioncr of i.-wmigratiou, lias
eschewed politics and gone into business as the president of a
new anthracite coal company. "The Black Diamond Anthracite
Coal Co.' w.is incorporated under the laws of New Jersey earlv
last week, with a capital of Si.aoo.ooo. with T. V. Powderlv as
president, John W. Peale, vice-president, and Edward Payson
Cone as secretary and treasurer. The incorporators announce
It as the "People's Co-operative Coal Co." It is Mr. Powder-
ly s first venture as a coal operator. In his younger days hi
was aniachinist, and worked in several of the machine shops in
this vicinity. If. however, he should prove to be as successiul
in the coal business as he has been in labor or in politics, he
will be rivaling the great Napoleans of finance of this country
in a lew years.
The Slock of tlie Black Diamond Anthracite Coal Co.
is_ already on the market. .A. big advertisement in the
New \ ork and Philadelphia Sunday newspapers announces
that shares of the stock of the par value of Ji.oo
will be sold at 50 cents a share. According to this
prospectus: "This company owns one of the richest hard
coal properties located in the heart of the sreat coal fieMs of
Pennsylvania, in Schuylkill county, near Pottsville. immedi-
ately surrounded by Reading and I^ehigh Valley coal laml. It
has^ no royalties to pay any one. The Pennsylvania State geo-
logical survey and tests by prominent coal experts show that
there are over 10.000.000 tons of high-grade red ash coal on the
cotnpany's property." It is further claimed that the big com-
p.inies all have to pay 40 to 60 cents a ton royalty and that
ne\-ertheless they m.ike $r.oo a ton on their output. Mr. Pow-
derly's company claims to be able to mine and ship 450.000 tons
of coal a year, which, at a dollar a ton profit, would enable it to
pay a dividend of forty-five per cent, upon its cai)ital stock.
All this is exceedingly interesting, because our former towns-
man, Mr. Powderly. whom ever>body in this section wishes
well, is at the head of the enterprise. The only drawback .about
it is that we had hoped that Mr. Powderly would come back to
us and give us his aid ancl counsel in promoting the interests
of th.e citv of Scrantoii. His identification with this new enter-
prise robs us of that hope. 'I'lie gentlemen wlio liave invested
with Mr. Powderlv in the Black Diamond Coal Co. are ''•"^i-
d.ents of New York, and it is more than prc>bable that Mr. Pow-
derly will make his luadtiuarters i-itlier in PoUsville. where he
will be clo^e to the mhies. op in New ^ ork*. where he v%'ill he
in thorough touch with Iiis colleagues anit witli the market
'vhieh will take his pr'^luct. By the way. the i>rospectus says
that otie l.aree coal hini in New \r,:k ha^ cuitractcd for the
purchase of the entire product ;it current prices.

SPIRIT OF 'yfy
JUNE, 1 9.1:
. THE NEW PATRIOTISM.
CoiuliicUil hy IHIOnORi; V. SHVYAI^I*.
The Ht'inan Race Is One ramily--I.t'vc \\\y NeiKhhor As Th^ L^clf.
'♦W'lieii all 13 SalJ aiid Doi-.c, the Rule of Brotherhood Remains as the Imiispcnsiblc Ricri'quisiie to Success in
Kind of National I.ifc For Which \W, Strive." — President Roosevelt in his first annual message.
The Oold'-ii Rule U; the Corner-stone of American niplomacj.-^Secrctary John Hay.
the
Tin: NKW PATRIOTISM OF THE GOLDEN RULE.
Karnest people are bccjiniiiiiR to speak of a new patriotism,
or, as they express it, "The Xew Patriotism." It is well to
have a clear iden of the meaning of the term and what it stands
for. It stands for the Golden Rule — nothing more nor less.
But the Golden Rule is also having a liew interpretation. Pro-
perly understood, it includes two principles: First, justice to the
fellow man, and not a mere senlinicntal aflection; second, com-
bination or federation.
The world has ne\-er witnessed a nobler patriotism than th.at
manifested by our forefathers in their struggle for liberty. But
at tliat time tlierc was notliing of the nature of a race conscious-
ness; there was but the faint>-st cor.ception of the truth which
is the central thought of the New Patriotism — "the human race
is one family." ITonce "the spirit of '76'' now needs to be
brought into line with the spirit of the New Ago, which is t'le
spirit of altruism as expressed in the colloquial form of the
Golden Rule — "iJo unto others as if you were the others."
An organizati(Mi has been formed in New York City for de-
veloping and promoting the new patriotism. It is called "The
Golden Rule Federation, of the World." The names of the
ofillcers are given at the bottom of the page. Its objects may
be briefly expr; sscd as follows:
I. — To introduce the spirit of federation into Ai^icrican
scliools. Federation means the practice of the Golden Rule in
our daily intercourse with others. It cannot be a solo perform-
ance, it must include the neighbor. It belongs to the uid-
versal symphony of human life.
2.— To carry on an educational work for the mitigation and
eradication of racial and religious prejudice by lectures, public
meetings and the distribution of literature.
3. — To promote a closer sympathy between capital and labor,
and ,bet\'. ccn employers anii employed.
4. — To inaugurate the custom of observing an annual Golden
Rule Day throughout the world.
5, — To combine or affiliate all other societies in this effort
to promote the federation of the world.
A SYMBOL.
Every distinctive idea requires a symbol— "an out\\ard sign
of an inward grace." There are two of these ready for use.
I. — A Golden Rule Badge. This is an attractive pin made of
oreide. It is in tlie form of a small rule with the words "Gold-
en Rule" embossed on the surface. Price 10 cents.
2. — A wall card on which is printed in large type, "Affiliated
with the Golden Rule Federation of the World." This should
be placed in all homes and schools and in affiliated club-rooms.
It holds thought to the two essential elements of individual
happiness and social order — love and combination. Price 10
cents.
THE HOME.
Let us bcein hy emphasizing tlie Golden Rule in the home.
Tfiere are few families that would not be benefited by giving
it more prominence in the home life. Hang the wall card in the
dining-room as a constant reminder of per'^nnal duty, and also
as a means of leading the children to think occasionally of
their brothers and sisters on the other side of the world.
THE SCHOOL.
As an aid to emphasizing the Golden Rule in the school.
there ■will be published soon a school exercise or entertainment,
entitled "Federnting the W^orld in a School-roorri." The plan
is as follows:
A bright boy or girl, hearing the family at home discussing
a movement, for federating the world on the basis of the Golden
Rule, has the h.i[ip> thou.ght that the school is a small world in •
itself, with rcpri'^pntatives of various nations. Whv not get
ahead of the grown-ups and federate that world first? He calls
a convention of the pupils for the purpose. They enter into
the plan with enthusiasm. A representative of each natii"'ii
gives a brief statement of its history and the claims it has. for
recoGuition, .A vote is taken, the nation is admitte<l. and t:ie
national air is sunti to the waving of the national ilag. During
the discussion a telegram comes frrim President Roo<;evelt con-
gratulating the children upon taking the lead in the move-
ment. Other interesting episodes are introduced. Valuable
sugf;cstions for obseiving the Golden Rule are gixen at the

NEXT AFFILIATE THE SOCIETIES.
The new spirit of world-wide sympath]/ and solidarity, in
other words, the New Patriotism, can be extended veiy rapid-
ly by the affiliation of societies, clubs and organizations with
the Golden Rule Federation, which serves as a center for the
nio\'ement — a kind of clearing house for ail other organiza-
lirnis. This is arranged for by its constitution, which pro-
\idcs tliat societies may be affiliated with the Golden Rule Fed-
eration by the payment of two dollars annual!)', which gives
them the privilege of belonging to the universal movement
and entitles them to receive the organ of the G. R. F. ar:d other
reading matter from tim.e to time.
THE ORGAN.
'Jdiis periodical, "The Spirit of '76," is ad(pptcd as the organ
of the movemerit. It is mnst fitting that this magazine should
be the medium, for the men and women of '76 laid the founda-
tion of a Golden Ride Republic. It only needs to be carried
on to a practical consiunmation, and in his brotherhood sen-
tence President Roosevelt has stated clearly and vigorously
the underlyin.g principles of the New Patriotism.
AN ANNUAL GOLDEN RULE DAY.
If v,e have "Decoration Days" and "Arbor Days," there
should surely be a day for considering the one and only prin-
ciple upon which a ni^rmal order of society can be established.
As a means of reaching every class of minds, yotmg and old, it
is proposed to observe three successi\'e days, Friday, for con-
sidering the subject in schools; Saturday for synagogues, and
Sunday for churches. The days choseit are the first Friday.
Saturday and Sunday of December in each year. The dates this
year, are the 5th. 6th and 7th of December. Clerg\incn a;id
teachers who desire to enter into the plan are requested to
notify the secretary r;t 239 Broadway, New York.
A GREAT EDUCATIONAL CA^[PAIGN.
The formation of the Golden Rule Federation for prom.ot-
inc tiie New Patriotism inaugurates a great educational cani-
paign. Its beginning is fellowship, and its end is universal
peace. The following are some of the proposed methods of
carrying on the work:
I. — Have this page printed (adding valuable matter on the
leverse side) to use as an educational leaflet. As funds come
in for memberships, this will be sent to the press, beginning
with the more important newspapers and' continuing until, if
possible, it has gone to all the 32,000 periodicals printed in th;
United States.
-• — Send it to public libraries, sanitariums, sunmicr resorts —
wherever people come together.
.1 — The Society has published an educational booklet of 77
pages, entitled "The Golden Rule Brotherhood; its History and
Plans." It gives a great variety of information regarding the
general subject of unity and brotherhood. It will be e-pecially
helj'Jul to ministers who decide to observe Golden Rule Day.

The present situation has conclusively demoiisliatcd the ii.unediatc and urgent iiced of a greater hard coal production.
'J'lie sniokedadeu condition of tin- country in general and tlie large cities in particular certainly affords sufficient proof of
the scarcity of Anthracite L>)al as well as the all -nn port ant fact that the demand now equals, if it does not exceed, the supply.
The Soft Coal nuisance has become general throughout the country as hard coal in quantities is not obtainable. ^\ hile
this is in a measure due to the strike it is not wholl;. so, the past few v/eeks have given positive proof that the demand for
.'Vnthracite is so great that notwithstanding the fact ihat the mines have l)een worked night and day no surplus has been
accumulated. The prospect is for higher prices than ever before as the older mines are gradually being worked out.
Anthracite authorities sLate that the price of hard coal will not go below $7.00 per ton in the ne-Kt eighteen monllis,
THIS COMPANY OWXS ONE OF THE RICHEST HARD COAL
PROPERTIES in the great coal fields of Pennsylvania, located
at Branchdale, Schuylkill County, in. mediately surrounded by Read-
ing and Lehigh Valley Coal Land and by Reading collieries which '
have been in operation for the past .(o years.
IT HAS NO ROYALTIES T O P A Y A N Y ONE.
The Philadelijhia and Reading Railroad crosses the properi) and furnishes
ample transportation
The Pennsylvania State Geological Survey shows, and coal experts
agree that there are OYER io,coo,ooo 1 ONS OE HIGH GRADE
RED ASH COAL ON THE COMPANY'S PROPERTY.
It is the first time in history that the public has had an opportunity to share in the VAST PROFITS now
going entirely into the pockets of the Coal Trust. THESE PROFITS AMOUNTl'.D TO MORE THAN SSo ooo,coo
LAST YEAR.
The head of one of the largest Financial Svndicates in New York stated some time ago that the Peter Starr tract was the
RICHEST UNDEVELOPED COAL FIELD in the entire State of Pennsylvania. The coal is there and noth-
ing remains but to mine and ship it.
One of the largest wholesale coal dealers has contracted for the purchase of the entire production at current prices. The
railroads of the State of Pennsylvania forfeit their charters by failure to transport coal that is already contracted tor.
To give some idea of what an excepticnal investment is offered, we call the attention of the put^lic to tl;e fact that the large
coal companies, all of which have to lease their land and the minerals thereon, and in consequence PAY royalties of from
40 to 60 cents per ton to the landowners, make a NET PROFIT OF $1.00 PER 'ION, so that this Company with no
royalties to pay EARNS at leasr S' 40 per ton net. The operation of a breaker with a daily capacity of 1,500 tons,
working 300 days, means a total shipment of 450,000 TONS A YEAR, which, figuring at a protit of only §r,co PER
TON, amounts to a total prollt of 45 PER CENT. ANNUALLY on the capital stock of the company. Working
but 200 days at full capacity enables the Company TO DIVIDE among its stockholders 30 PER CEN'F. PER
ANNUM. All profits are to be divided i[uarterly.
Never has there been a more p o p u 1 ar stock o ff e r i n g.
THE FIRST ALLOTMENT was all subscribed in three weeks.
A SPECI.AL ALLOTMENT of stock is now offered for subscrip-
tion AT 7j CENTS PER SHARE
Additional contracts have been let and the work on the property is being
- pushed to greatest possible rapidity so that the " People's Company "
will be shipping coal in eight n>onths at the latest

Homer Lee. W.. A. \Marble, Hiram P. Steele, T. D. Hunt-
ting, William ^^'. Biiven, James Loder Raymond, Charles
H. Wiglit and others, the City of New York determined
upon the sight of the old Morris or Jumel Mansion and
grounds on U'ashinu'ton Heights as a suitable place for the
establishment of an hi-toric ]>ark for the preservation of
Washington's HeadOjUarters, v.hicli are still occu[>ying the
site and for the housing of relics of the Revolution, and of
the early history of our country.
The necessar) resolutions and ordinances fcir its estab-
lishment were adopted by the \arious boards last year, and
the same were for\vardeti to the Mayor for his ap[)roval.
The time specified under the law for consideration Ijy
the Mayor, namely, three days, before his aysproval could
be given did not elapse during the incumbency of the late
Mayor, and the matter was carried o\er into the adminis-
tration of His Honor, Seth Low.
Under an opiniun of the Corporation Coun^el it was
decided tha: the new Mjyor probably d'd not h.axe the
pi)rt'er to apprcne oudinariccs of tlie prosious administra-
tion, and upon the ad\ ice of the Cor[:oration Counsel "he.
matter was referred back by His Honor to the [iresent
Board of Aldermen.
The undersigned respectfully request that yiMir H'jnor-
able Bo.rrd will take steps to com[>!ete the proceedings for
the escablislimcni of liiis iuiportai\t atljunct to tlv; institu-
tions ui our city, and a\ert a continuance of the de!a\'
caused by the technical impediment above referred to.
The motive which [jronipts your Petitioners to urge
this tlesirable impro\onient is >uggcsied b}' the f;ict ti;.it the !
City of New York is the only cit.y in the United .-states j
among the citie^ of iniiMjrtance that has no phu e of historic I
interest associated with t!ie birlh of indeiiendence. j
This condition is e.sagerated In' the preservation, in its i
original state, of the building \\\ ([tiestion and a[)[iointments i
as tlie same were uscel arid occupied b) the lieroes of our (
earl) struggle. |
No other city can boast of so important and interesting \
a relic, and your Honoral>le l!oard, while the 0[<[iortun!ty |
exists, and befc're the last of all tlic valuable relic s of ottr '
countiy has been obliterated, will perform an imiioiiant !
function b}- enabling the Cii} to take possession of this site, j
"Why get off at Btiftalo
A\'hcn }-cni can stop at Syracuse?
What's the use? \\"hat's the use!"
This trauslatinu front Homer's evelid.' Curnpcised by
Marc Antcuiy, Mark Ilaniia or Mark Twain, ha? been
riuijiuing' ill my mind since returning frcim the dedica-
tion of a memorial tablet at Syracuse. I have attended
much more elaborate functions, but never have I seen
such cordiality b\' the whole people as ^vvas extended in
S}'racuse.
Mr. Avcrill, the chairman of the Entertainment,
knows how to entertain, and as he is proprietor of the
Yates, the best hotel in the city, lie has had experience.
Mr. Charles W. Woodi, the secretary of the Syracuse
Chapter, lias the credit of g-etting more miembers into
the Societv in a short time than anv other member. For
this he was rewardefl by tlie Empire .State Society by
being electeii Vice-President. A snrprise that was
sprung on him was the presentation of a chapter flag
with the lettering, Syracuse, 1901, wc^irked on the blue
field ill gold silk.
The lianner of the Societ}-. bilne, w hite aitd buff, ma'Ie
of heavy silk and letteroi! in floss, w;is made by Amu'n
& Co., of New York, ai-al is a beautiful piece of work.
The Recruiting Committee, Richard C. Jackson,
chairman, is making i)lans to increase the membership,
and this l)anncr is presented to the chapter showing the
greatest y)ercentagc nf increase' during tlie year from
r.unker Tlill day to the following 17th of June. On the
blue field there is space for five years' r.ames of winning
chapters; that as. each }ear tlie chapter shouiiig the

The accomiians ing illustration is a redu.Ced copy of a

do Rocliambeau, to receive and admit, in the name of the
king, an officer of that regiment to "the dignity of Chevalier
of St. Loui.s." The records of the French Mini.>tr\- (if War
show that the reson for this bestowa.l of the royal favor was
the fact that Captain L^esnoes ''s'est distingue au siege de
Yorktown." He was Liorn at Caen (Calavados), April 9,
1741; enlisted in the regiment d'infanterie de Cambresis
and embarked for the Isle of France INLirch 5, 1760; made
ensign .Vjiril 1, 1761; lieutenant August 27, 1762; re'tarned

'I'lic "cioss" ol the Sons ot the American Jve\ 1 ijution
was adopted from a design bv Major Cold-^mith \\. West n|
Alab.ini.a, v.-lio exj'huned it thus :
"The cross of four a^rms and eiglit juaints, enameka! in
while, is drawn from the cross of the ancient chivalric oider
of Si. Louis, France ; but the monarchical lilies wldch were
placed between the arms ha\-e been left out. Li their [ilace
we su.rround them with the laurel wrealh of Republican \ic-
tor). There two are good reasons f<jr selecting the cross of
St, [^ouis as the groundwork of our de>-ora.tiim. It was tlie
Grand >Lasler of that order, Louis X\T, who had lent
America that aid she S(.i badl\ needed to w in the hgiit for
national independence; and nearly all the gallant French
officers wdio personally fought with and for the colonies,
were chevaliers of the order. It is intended as a recognition
of them and their services, and as a compliment tojtiieir
country and their descendants, that we j.ropose in some part
the ado[)tion of the form of the historic cross of St. Louis."
The cross of the Sons of the American Re\c)iution is
made the same si/e as'tlie chesalier's cross of tlie Legion cjf
Honi.ir of France.

REtTiFx L. Rf,eii, Esq. :
Dear Sir and Compatriot: — The seasons roll round and bring
to our iioiice dues and reminiscences r.f the past. So the date
ot this friendly chat remiiKL me of the a[ipri. ach oi your special
annual bxxal patriotic observance. Lkinker ilill day. Your per-
sonal aitentions and reception eif \our organization tliree }-ears
a'jo [Hcsents another opportunity to ex[/ress my interesi and -yiu-
paiiiy in these demonstraticins. If occasie>n presenis, you vvill
kindly express my olilig.itions and anticipated pleasure to be with
you in sympathy and si)irit upon that eventful d;i>'- IIov. -oev<:r,
tile t)enalties of old age may at'fect tlie physical, I assure you my
patri'itisin is unabated.
I am assured that our .San Eranci^co Bunker Hill Society is
preparin.g for the usua.l interesting oliservances i:if the day here.
L waauld afford me Lireat pleasure to unite witli them, but appre-
lundcd physical disability will prevent. As I have previously in-
formed you. I am in St. Luke's Hospital — no particular ailment
IciU Wearing out; the remedy, rest. My friends insist that I am
improving satisfactorily. The fiat or edict has gc>ne out — no m'.;.re
i.'usiness and work-, but quietness and rest. But is sufficiently
recruited and able to get around, it would be a pleasant employ-
nunt and duty to visit all chapters of the Sons and Datigiiters
of Rev.iiutionary Sires as a missionary to urge upon al! greater
interest and efforts to increase our membership and influence.
It is estimated there are a million of our people — inhabitants —
eliiriide to membership. Th.e Society of Sons of the .-Imerican
Revolution number in reiund nu.tnbers lO.oO'O. The Dau.ahtcrs
excel us by 30.0e")0. I have not at this writiitg the membership
of the Sons and Daughters of the Revolution, out the aggregate
of both patriotic societies is small and meagre in comparison to
wdiat it ought to be.
Every eligible Son and Daughter upon tlieir majority should
consider it a privilege, honor and duty to becoiTie members of
these organizations. They should lose no time in making their
calling and election sure. It will give patriotism renewed in-
terest, and the genealogical and biographical history of our
aiicestC'rs new life, and greater care will be exercised in preserving
and perpetuating the records and relics of our families. '"Tis ncn
an uncommon remark at the present day "that not one in a hun-
dred can tell wdio his grandfather wa^."
Our societies require permanent headquarters, with accommo-
dations for frequent and regular meetings for the discussion of
Revolutionary and patriotic history, and social gathering:s. Our
California Parent Society numbers about 400 members; it ought
to ivainber 4.000. We are patiently waiting fc>r same one of ou.r
muiii-millionaires to erect the most magnificent structure in the
world as a ntiing and appropriate memorial, commemorative of
the heroic sacrifices and deeds not only of their personal ances-
tors, but of all who in any manner aided and were instrumental
in securing the freedom and independence of a strug.gling people,
now the most progressive and intelligent nation on earth.

Mr. M. A. Sliori'laii, of Mcsiit iMoor, has furni.^hcd
the N)ack Star with ihc following:
'"Thi-. account, of tlic storniinc,^ of Stony Point, which
was taken from tlic lips of William Chaft'cc, a Revolution-
ary pensioner, a few moiUlis before his deatli, may not
be ur.interestiii!;-:
"Some time in tile month of July, 1779, our reg'iment
b.ad orders to prepare themselves for marching at day-
break next morning on a secret expedition. We prepared
ourselves— as many as could obtain it — with a little extra
supply of rum in our canteens, to sustain us in a hot
day's march, and keep our courage in case of need. As
soon a; daylight appeared we mustered, three regiments
of us, under the commaii'l of General Wavne, and took
uj) our line of march northward, among the hills, over
a very rough road, on one of the hottest days in the
hot month of July. It very soon began to be whispered
that we were goirig to attack' the fort at Stony Point. I
don't imagine that the secret leaked out, but that this
was only conjectured from the direction of our march.
"After a march of nearly thirty miles over the worst
road on earth, if it deserved tlie name of road, we halted
about dusk in the evening three or four miles in the rear
of the fort, nearly exhausted by fatigue and the excess-
ive heat- of tlie weather. Notwithstanding most of us had
drained our canteens of their extra supply — which ue
now regretted, as the object of our expedition was no
longer a secret — we fell sadly in v/ant of a little of the
creature to fill our stomachs for the fight. After rest-
ing about an hour, we were addressed by our officers, and
told that we were going to make an immediate attack
on the fort, and that we must take it at all hazards.
"We marched to the attack, according to mv recollec-
tion, in three columns. I know the historical accounts
say two, but 1 shall speak according to my own recol-
lection. One column was to make the attack with un-
loaded iriuskets. and rely on the bayonet alone. The col-
umn to '-vhich I belonged was to attack the fort on the
south side, where it was defended by two lines of a sort
of picketing of logs, planks, stumps and brush, which
it was necessary to cut aw-ay and remove to make room
for the column to advance without delay. When within
a quarter of a mile of the fort we halted, and twenty
stout men were picked out and sent forward under the
cornmand of a lieutenant, to perform this dangerous ser-
vice. It was ray fortune to be one of them. Colonel
Meigs addressed a few words to us almost in a whisper,
and pointed out the duty we were to perform; but some
of us remonstrated with him against being singled out
and led on to certain death. In reply we were told that
the duty must be performed, and ordered to march on
in silence. We tfien slung our unloaded muskets to our
backs, and v/ere each furnished with an axe; and in
the meantirrie a few canteens of rum were found among
us, which were emptied at a breath, and we marched
briskly forward. W'^ h^d proceeded but a few rods in
advance of tiie column when the fire from the fort opened
upon us ; very soon the whole fort appeared like a sheet
of fire, and the air alive with the whizzing of grape and
canister, and tlie whistie of musket balls. C)ur way to
the pickets led us rlirough a lirle cove that set up from
the river, where we iiad to wade about waist deep It
was here, when their siK>c fairly rained down upon us,
that I suffered more Crom fear. I dreaded a double
death: t.-> be shot Iiv\-n, and then drowned, was one dish
ruore than we had bespoken, and it Vv-as well understood
that the duty we had in hand would not admit of stopping
to pick up our wounded. One poor fellow fell in here.
and, if T recollect aright Vv^e reached the pickets without
other loss. Here wc were sheltered during our work.
lent s rc-pue ivo'.u t!;e tear ot tlicii" balls,
v.'hich were sent over our heads tov.arJ the advaiuing
columns. It was the uork of a very few minutes tu
cut away a space large enough fur a iilaioon to march
through. I cannot now recollect how long wc were de-
tained, and, indeed, it is scarcely possible that I could
th.en have esn'mated the time very accurately; we wcvc
all stout men, and used to chopping, and 1 think we must
have made quick \\'>rk of it.
■■\\ hen we had made a clean passage we unslung our
muskets and pushed on for the second line, immedi-
ately on passing through we encountered a few Hessians,
a sort of out guard, I suppose. The first notice wc had
of them 1 felt a bayonet at my breast. With a quick
motion of my hand I threw the point of the weapon over
my left shoulder, raising my frock (which answered
for shirt, coat and waistcoat) along with it, and tearing
open the skin, and perhaps a little of the fiesh in its
course. This effort brought me upon my hack, with
the Hessian on top of me It-was now a trial of strength
between us. As neither could use any arms but such
as nature had furnished us, I found I would be too much
for him, when Sergeant Brown stepped up and finished
the contest by putting his ba}'onet through the Hessian,
which I was not sorry for, although I could ha\e mas-
tered him with fair play: yet I found liim rather a trou-
blesome fellow, and was glad to get rid of him. We
now proceeded to cut away the second line of abattis,
which -was more slight than the first, and quickly dis-
patched. At this time not more th;in tlrree or four of
our number had fallen, and the duty on which wc had
been sent having been faitlifuUy discharged, our orders
were to have fallen back upon the rlank and rear of the
advancing column. But our lieutenant resolved upon a
more daring enterprise. We advanced by his order, and
leaped upon the breastv.'orks of the enemy, in the face
of the garrison, with their bayonets pointed at our breasts.
Here we stood shoulder to shoulder, pushing at the enemy
with all our might, God knows how long. It seemed
to me an age ; it was probably bur a very few minutes,
perhaps less than one minute, until we felt our friends
in our rear. C)ur number was now reduced to four men,
the lieutenant, and three others of us standing to him
on the right. The lieutenant then ordered us to leap
into the fort, over the heads of the garrison, ^^'e brought
our muskets down in a horizontal position, and threw
ourselves into the fort. In this miovement the lieutenant
fell, calling to us, 'Rush on, hoys! I am a dead man!'
We then proceeded, unmolested, toward the flag staff in
the center of the fort, and there awaited the issue with
some anxiety, you may be sure. Within a few minutes,
however, we saw Major Fleury advancing at the head
of his ccdumn. The ^Major himself rushed forward and
pulled down the British flag. For this he received a
commission of a thousand dollars, which had been prom-
ised to the first man who should enter the fort. A re-
ward of five hundred dollars had been promised to the
second, and one hundred to the third man who should
enter the fort. Of the tw'o men of the forlorn hope who
survived with me, I recollect the name of but one. This
was Sergeant Brown. The five hundred dollars was
given to Sergeant Brown. I received the one hundred in
Continental bills, and expended forty or fifty, I don't
recollect which, in the purchase of a gallon of rum to
, treat the company to which I belonged.
"Our expedition had been conducted with so much
secrecy that we expected to surprise the garrison. They
were ready for us, and we were not a little astonished
at their opening so brisk a fire Upon us at our first ap-
(iroach. This was accounted for after the surrender of
the garrison. A scoundrel wdio dcsc-tcd from us during
the evening had carried, intelligence to th.e enemy. Th's
fellow v»as not to be found in tl-e fort. F':ir fear of tlie
worst, they had put him on board of a sloop of war."

SOME featurf:s of the occasion.
ADDRl'LSS PiY WALTER SETH LOGAN.
GOVEKNOR OdELL AND LaDIES AND GeNTLEMEN : It is
now my duty and proud privilege on behalf of the Amer-
ican Scenic and Historic I'reservation Society to turn
over to the di.-tinguished Executive of the State of New
Vork, in trust for the people of the State, the grounds at
Stony I'oint, which the State entrusted to us tempo-
rarily to secure their care, improvement and preserva-
tion.
We are on sacred ground. No acre of our continent
is richer in prcud historic and patriotic associations than
the acre on which we are now standing. The Hudson
was the battle ground of the Revolution. From Bcmis
Heights to Coriears Hook, every foot of it was fought
over. In sight of its majestic waters Anthony Wayne
and his noble band of twelve hundred patriots climbed
these stony heights, and won immortality for them.selves,
and libeny for" their country. On its banks the heroic
band at P'ort Washington, though outnumbered four to
one, withstood repeated assaults, and made hundreds of
Hessians bite the dust before they were finally reduced
to the last extremity, and surrendered with honor. On
the iieiglits which overlook it, near Saratoga, Burgoyne
sunendered afier a series of battles, whicli Crucy, count-
ing them as one, has numbered among the fifteen decisive
battles of the world. At its mouth the last soldiers of
the British Army rook passage back to England after a
vain struggle for eight years to reduce America to sub-
mission, and v/ithi!! siglit of its waters George Wash-
ington took the oath of oftice as first President of the
United States- — the final consummation of the great strug-
gle which he carriei.1 to such a successful issue.
The Huilson is still the noblest river of the nation
whose birth struggles vs-ere on its banks. The painter,
with colors, and the painter with words, have both found
it their favorite spot. Sleepy Hollow, just over the hill
from it, was tlic home of tlie man who was at once the
historian of Washington and the creator of Dietrich
Knickerbocker. It has tjcen made immortal by the pen
of Fenimoro Coojicr. Tiie United States Military Aca'I-
cn;y, which, ha.s just celebrated its C';ntennial anniver-
sary, and which has ofticercd for a huiuired years the best
army in the world, is just above us. The Palisades,
which our Society has done so much to preserve, guard
its portage to the sea. The toml) 01 the great ca])l,-un
of the Civil War is on llic Rivi.Tside. Ihe greatest city
of the continent — soon coming [tj 1)^' tlic greatest city
of the world — is at its mouth, it was C'li the Hudson
that Rolicrt I'ullon lloated lil^ tir^t steamboat, the pio-
neer of that commerce which, \\ilh ;m Isthmian Canal,
is to make New York City a iHjrt of the Pacific as well
as of the Atlantic. The KaaierNkills rear tlicir majestic
heads above the river, and llie beautiful and life-giving
Adirondacks ad'.irii and i>urif\- it^^ head-waters.
Last, but not least, ('.nvernor r)dcll, I am proud to
add that the man whom New Vork now delights to honor
as its Chief I'lxecutive, lives upon its banks, and 1 know
loves it well.
It IS the American Scenic and Historic Preservation
Society that is turning over to you, sir, to-day, the
grounds that the State has prirchased, and which we have
tried to reclaim and preserve. Tlie American Scenic and
Historic Preservation .Societ\' is an institiition created by
the law-making power of the State of New Vork, and
entrusted by the people of that State wirJi the perform-
ance of certain important duties. At the head of the
Society, from its birth to dale — and we hope he will be
saved to be there for many years to come — is a man
whom New Aork City and New York State ever delight
to honor, Andrew PL Green. Foremost in every good
work, the father of the city of Greater New York, for
more than half a century he lias been one of the picmeers
in thought, and leaders in action, in the State of New
York. Devoted to all his duties, he is, I think, a little
more devoted than to anything else to the American
Scenic and Historic Preservation Society, of which he
is the honored president. Well may he be. There is no
higher duty which patriotic citizens of the State can per-
form than the preservation of certain spots in it wdiich
are incomparable f'nr their natural beauties, and made
ever memorable by the historic and patriotic associations
connected with them. When the record of the great and
eood man I have named is \vritten, as written it will
- - - T
be by the loving pen of history, first and foremost, I
think, amc-ng his gi>Dd deeds to be recorded, will be — not
the overthrow of Tweed, not even the creation of the
citv of Greater New V^ork. but — the preservation of Ni-
agara, the Palisades, and Stony Point.

U. S. S. OLYMllA SALUriNG IN'THE OFFING.
It is 10 tlie great State of New York that we turn
over our work. There is no iiobk-r commonwealth, no
cominonweakh tliat is tlie liomc of nobler and better men
and women than the State of New York. First and fore-
most it is, of all the States of the land, in primitive sub-
limity and natural l;eanty. as well as in the use that has
been made of its sujierior attraetions and advantages.
First and foremost it is in trade and commerce, in indus-
try and in wealth, in education and in cultivation, in learn-
ing and in letters, in science and in art; first and fore-
most in everything that is good and noldc, in everything
that m.akcs life worth living.
New York could have had no Governor to whom we
would more gladly present the result of our work than
Governor Benjamin B. Odell. New York has a record
in its Governors to lie proud of. Among them have been
the two Clintons, Jay, Van Buren, Seward, Dix, Tilden,
Cleveland and Roosevelt, but it has never had a Gov-
ernor of whom it is more proud thaii it is of the man
who now occupies that exalted position. A good many
of us differ from him in politics. Some of us voted
against him two years ago, and are likely to do so again,
if, for no other reason, to signify our conviction that
New York is rich in its great men. When it is a ques-
tion of how many terms he shall hold the ofTice he is
never likelv to get an entirely unanimous vote ; but when
the question is whether he has the respect and confi-
dence, and the good wishes of every man and woman
in the State, there is not, and never will be, a dissent-
ing vote. There is no other candidate.
It is to the State of New York that the American
Scenic and Historic Preservation Sncietv now turns over
its work ; and in form Stony Point will hereafter con-
tinue to be the property of the State of New York, but
in fact it is the property of the people of the United
States, and the State of New York will hold it only in
loving trust for the people of the nation of which they
are proud to form a part. What was fought for here
at Stony Point was not the independence of the State
of New York, hut the independence of the United States
of America. The men who marched up here that mem-
oralde Tidv night cam.e from all parts of what was then
tlie United States of America, Tlicy were led bv a man
who had come from Pennsylvania, but who, after that
night, belonged to no State, but to the nation which he
did so much to create. Following him were men from
the green .slopes of Vermont, from tlie rocky coasts of
Massnclmsetts, and the fertile valleys of Connecticut;
from New Jersey and I'limsylvania, and AIar}land and
Virginia; from wdicre\tr men had come to defend the
flag that had so lately boon unfurled; and we are proud
to have with us to-day as the principal speaker of the
occasion, a man v/ho represents the great State which gave
to the world Anthony Waxiio.
\Vhen those men ru^lu-d the parapets that dark July
night they were doing their duty, ar.fl roady to die. if
need be, in the doing of it ; but they liUlo thought Vvhat
was in store for the natif>i\ they wore fighting to create.
At the close of the war, when our independence was ac-
knowiedg'ed, the United States had three million peo-
ple, and extended from the Atlantic to the Mississippi,
and from Maine to Georgia. Three-fourths of a hun-
dred years later, when f studied geography in school, 1
was taught to boast that it extended from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, and from the Lakes to the Gulf. To-day
it extends from Porto liico to the Orient, and from
Yukon to Samoa. It u^od to be England's proud boast
that on her dominions alr.ne of all th.e nations of the
world the sun never set. 'I'o-day, if that is an h.onor, it
is shared l)y these United States of ours, for the sun
rises in Porto Rico before it sots in Manila. The strug-
gling nation wdiose half barefooted soldiers won its lib-
erty is to-day the foremost nation 'of the world. \\'hen
Anthony Wayne climbed these stony heights you could
cover with your thumb and finger on the map of the
world the places on both sides of the ocean where the
English laiiguage was spoken. To-day it is spoken in
every nation, in every clime, in every part of the world's
surface. It was spoken then Ijy less thaii Twenty miiuon
people all over the world. It is now spoken by more
than one hundred anr! twenty millions. It stood then fifth
on the list of European languages in regard to the num-
ber of people who spoke it. It now stands first, and
fifty nfillions ahead of the second. When Anthony Wayne
climbed these heights that summer night, the institu-
tions and the principles of our race prevailed only where
the English language was spoken, and on a small part
of the earth's surface. To-day the laws of four hundred
million people who do not speak our language are made
in it, and one hundred and fifty million more who do not
speak the language, and whose Laws are not made in it,
have copied our institutions and imitated our constitu-
tions, till the principles of the Declaration of Independ-
ence rule two-thirds of the world.

d'lie most irriportant proceeding of th.e session was
the admission to the (nnnal S<'ciet\- of several revi\-i-d
State societies. Th.e sc.indliig executive committee leaving
reported that the ])rovisi,,na! societies of Xew Hampshire,

The application of th.e revived Georgia State Society
for atlmission v/as considered at some length by the Gen-
er;d Society. The ^^tanding executive committee reported
that th.ere was in the P'jssessiop. of the General Society
a fttnd of S1.69j.09, wlrlch h.ad belonged to the original
Georgia State Society, and at the time of its dissolution
was turtied over to the custody of the L'nited States
GoverruTient, and deposited in the treasury. This fund
was subsequently transferred to th.e General Society of
the Cincinnati, and a personal bond was given for it
to tb:e Government by the late President-General Hamil-
ton Fish, and anoth.er member. The standing executive
committee recommended that this fund be returned to
the revived Georgia Society after it had exectited a proper
bond, and. in or^ler that all the formalities might be per-
formed, the societv I
jc kept on probation until the next
triennial meeting. After discission the recommenda-
tion was amende! bv a ur.animous vote so that the stand-
ing coniinittee was emiio-,\ered to admit the society as
soon as it should conform to certain requirements. The
Cicorgia delegation, composed of Walter G. Charlton. Mc-

OLD noTTLK HILL PARSONAGE AS IT APPEARED
IN 1S70.
REV, .AZ.APvIAH HORTON, the first American nJssionary
a;id the first pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Madi-
son, fornierly Bottle Hill, N, J,, was a native of SouthoIJ,
Long I>lnnd, where he was tiorn in 1 715, He was graduated at
\a]e College in 1735. and licensed to preach and ordaine'.i as a
missionary among the Indians by tlie P'resbytery of New York
in [741. He had been called to this ser^■ice by a number of
clergymen of New York and vicinity, among them being Rev.
Ebenezer Peraberton of New York, Rev. Aaron Burr of New-ark
and Rev. Jonathan Edwards of Northampton, ^lass., who were
organized as a commission representing the "Society of Scotland
for Propagating Christian Knowledge," and who prucecded to
select two men who should devote themselves to this work. Ihe
first chijscn was Mr.,PIorton and the second was David Brainerd,
Among the Indians of Long Island Mr, Horton Itibored suc-
cessfully ior a number of years. His home at -that time was in
Shinnecock, about two miles west of Southampton, in which
place he met and married Miss Eunice Foster. In addition to
his labL^rs on Long Island he preaclied among the Iniiians at
Wyoming and the Forks of the Delaware, wdiere he did much
to prepare the way for Rev. E'avid P.rainerd. who had just been
set apart for this work. He continued his labors as a missionary
until tlie year 1731 when he became the pastor of the Presby-
ler'an Church of South Hanover, located at Bottle Hill, New-
Jersey, dhis churcli bad been organized about four years, and
during a portion of this time had enjoyed the ministrati^-ns of
Rev, Nehcmiah Greenman as a stated supply, Yir. Plorton
caine as a candidate for settlement, and during the latter part
of the year 175 1 was regularly installed as pastor of the church.
• Hi; salary was only se\enty pound? per annum, and in order
to help ip the support of tlieir large family. Mrs. PK^rton erected
a small store and managed it with such tlirift and success as not
1 nly to provide lor the education of her ciiddren. br,t also to
lay aside a su:r, siuTicient for the purchase of a small farm. She
appear- to have been a very well educated and energetic woman
and m evcrv respect a wortiiy helpmeet of the excellent pioneer
i^astor. ' ■

SPIRIT OF '76.
AUGUST, 1907
After laboring in RiHtle Hill most f:iitlifnlly an>l successfully

about three niontiis later the Kevuliitiuiiary Anny, inuler General
W.T^hington, ininiediatelv alter the vict',>rie.s ut 'rreiit'-n and
Princeton, came into wuitcr quarters in PiOttlc Hill. Within a
few iveeivs the small- i>n.\ bij^an to prevail amon;:; the troops and
citizens. Mr. Ibirtun I'mKcd 11 'th ,1 C'JI^I>as^ionatP eye upon hi ^
flock, as yet witluun a slapiiLr'i. The patriot .soldurs, too, who
were daily falling!:- victims to the scourpc called I'ortli hi, cyin-
pattiS'. Under these ^!l^tressi!l.^' circuni:Uances, will) the self-
forgetfidness and devotion of a true minister and patriot, he
threw himself again into the work of a pistor, minisi._riiH,' lo the
dying and performing the last sad otTice.s for the dead, thus ex-
posing himself to the contagion to wliicli he fell a victim. He
was seized with ilie disease and died M:'rch 27, 1777.
The event e.xriied lite most ininful reiTcts in the minds of all
classes of the army and ccjuniumity. '1 he heroic dut}' to which
he had given himself and to which he fell a sacrifice impressed
all with admiration a.nd sorrow and he w;is recognized as a
venerable father ni.H only by his own ]"ople. but also by the
soldiers to whom he h.id bome the con-,- ilatinns of the Gospel.
He was buried in the cemetery 511st b.ick ni the old judpli wlioie
he had so long pre;ieiied. Over his gia\c was erected a hori-
zontal slab of freestone, resting upon uprights of i!ie same
material, the tomb being of a C'_'-tly descrlptiiJii. (piite unusual at
that time and pl.'^.ce mid iiidicating a degree of thought and in-
terest anii.ing his people ami perhaps among the officers of the
army which called for the erection of so massive and beautiful a
memorial. It may still be seen upon the^summit of the cemetery
hill in the Borou.gh of Madison, and upon it may be traced the
following inscription: "In memory of rhe Rev. A^ariah Horton.
for twenty-five years iiasior of this church; died ^larch 27, 1777,
aged sixty-two jears."
About a year and a half after Mr. Hortcn's death his wife,
Mrs. Eunice Hnrton. died at the residence of her si~in in Chat-
ham, and she was buried by the side of her husband, her name
being inscribed upon the tomb,
Mr. and Mrs. Horton were survived by four sons and four
daughters, and ami-ng their distinguished descendants may be
noted tlie names of Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, D.D., of Brooklyn ;
General James H. Raker, of Minnesota; Rev. Clarence Hills, of
In'diatia, and Rev. H. C. Weakley, T>T).. of Cincinnati.
The old parsonage occupied by Mr. Horton stood until 1S70,
when it \'-as removed to make way for the opening of Green
Avenue in ]\Iadisoii. It was the home of }\ir. Ho-rton's successor.
Rev. Ebcnczer Bradford, and a year or two later was rerttC'I by
the congregation to Col. Francis Barber, of the Revolutionary
Army, whose family occupied it during the last years of the war.
The house was full of historic and romantic associations, and
continued to be a venerated landmark for nearly a century there-
after. The picture was taken shortly before its destruction.

Might not the cliapel be enlaiged by an .added wing upon each

■'Tn.'phy Point," too, which may be ordered to "move on," is
a growth of traditions. Historic, once a fort, and already, by its
own right, the "Park," a poiiu to wdiich hearts and memories
turn, an out-of-door memorial hall with its captured cannon and
old chain, unique in every natural feature, especially th.e beautiful
and graceful old elms. Surely not one of those trees can be
spared. Nothing cati be spare<l I Partridge, the sculptor, says
in his "Life of Nathan Hale." "The time is just dawning for
America when her people are beginning to appreciate the great
souls that ha\e created the Republic."
And. again, he says :
"Our American world, given so much to commerce, is, of neces-
sity, only beginning to appreciate the service of those men v.dio
have gone on before, and wdio have made this great and wonder-
ful Republic."
N(3 traditions can be s()ared. The desire to keep them is not
the aversion of the old re^dent to any chance, but true love of
country, ardent love ..if U'est Point atid its traditions, and the
eariicst wish that it m ly expand, as it must, without surrendering
one tradition which the .Vcad.emy and the Nation cannot afford
to lose. CHARLOTTE SAYRE BOORMAN.

FAC-SIMILE OF GOLD MEDAL MADE BY TIFFANY >S: CO.
TO BE PRESENTED BY THE SOCIETY OF THE CLXCLNNATL IN RHODE ISLAND.
THE CINCINNATI OF RHODE ISLAND OFFERS A
PRIZE FOR A NEW AIR TO THE WORDS OF
AMERICA.
The Society of ihc Cincinuaii in tlic State of Rhode Island
and ProviJeiice Plantations, at it3 annual meeting', July 4, Vjoi ,
adopted a rosoiution oli'ered hy ^.Ir. Williaiu Watt.s Sherman,
directing the president of the sc'cicty to app'^pint a Special Com-
mittee to select a new air or tune to be used in singinc; the words
of the anihcm ■"America" ("My Country 'Tis of Thee"), com-
posed by Dr. Samuel F. Smith at the meetings of the society,
the air now in use being connected also with another sentiment
("God Save the King"). The nev/ air must be an original com-
position of American origin. The original words "God save the
King," and nu; = ic were composed by Henry Carey, an English-
man, in 1740, and have since been wedded in England as its prin-
cipal national air. The tune h.as also been u>cd by Germany and
Denmark as a riationa! air and Beethoven introduced it in his
"Battle Symphony." But as it is now associated in the minds
of the people throughout the world with the British monarch, it
seems proper that it should be divorced in this country from Dr.
Smith's patriotic and immcatal American verse, and the Rhode
Island Society hopes that by offering an adequate prize to accom-
pany the fame which- a successful composer would acquire, an
air at least as good as the old one may be secured.
The committee on the selection is composed of William Watts
Sherman, chairman, Charles Howland Russell, Sylvanus Albert
Reed, William Butler Duncan, Jr., Henry Hutchinson Hollister
and Oliver Hazard Perry, all members of the society, with the
president, Col. Gardiiier. and the secretary, George W. Olney,
as members ex-officio. The award will be made to the composer
whose piece shall be approved by the committee, which will have
the professional advice of >-[c5srs. Dudley Buck and Samuel P.
Warren. The committee claims no rights in the compositions
submitted and resen-'es the right of rejecting all and cannot en-
gage to return manuscripts. Compositions should be sent to the
chairman, ?i[r. William Watts Sherman. Shepard avenue. New-
port, R. I. Some hundreds of manuscripts have already been
received, coming from all p,arts of the L'nited States and Europe.
The competition will remain open until about December i.
The prize ofYered by the society is a gold medal, which has
been executed from original desitins by Messrs. Tiffany & Com-
pan_\-. New Ynrk, at a cn.-t of se\<ral hundred dollars. A fac
simile I'f the obver-e and reverse sides of the medal, and of its
exact size, appears above.

and Robert Debe\oise Macomber, grandson of Captain Ebenezcr
Maccmber, of tiie First Reuimcnt, Rhnde TIand Cuntinental In-
fantry. The deaths of these two members left a surviving mem-
bership o! 54, of which 45 were hereditary and 9 honorary. 'J he
secretary's report also contained references to the discovery of
the remains of iMajor-General Nathnnael Greene in a Colonial
vault at Savannah, by a committee of this society; the visit of
the Rochambeau delegates from France to Newport on Memorial
I3ay to decorate ilie grave of the Admiral de I'eriiay ; the dinner
by the members of the Cincinnati to the Frenchmen at the Wal-
dorf-Astoria, New York, on Mav 27; the proceedings of the

of the Revolution, and Albert Ross Parsons, president of the
.-\merican College of Musicians, whose great grandfather parti-
cipated in th.e Battle of Rhode Island.
Mr. William Watts ■Sherman, chairman of the Committee on
the selection of the new air for the words of "America," re-
ported that circulars had been sent out inviting compositions,
and that 155 manuscripts had already been received, showing that<
great interest was already taken in the matter by musicians. The
gold medal to be presented to the successful composer had been
e.Kecuted by Tiffanj-, and the Commitcec expected to keep the
competition open for some months longer and hoped to be able
to render its decision by the close of the year.
G T'-ral tlazard Stevens offereil a resolution, which was
ado 1, that the Rhode Island Cincinnati shall celebrate in a
pub. nanner the one h.iimlred and twenty-fifth anniversary of
the Battle of Rhode Island, on August 2g, igo,'?.
Rev. Dr. Chapin offered a series of resolutions which were
adopted expressing the gratification of this soclet^y that, in accord-
ance with the wishes of a majority of the descendants of Major-
(jcneral Nathaniel Greene the rem.iins will be re-interred in
Johnson Square. Savannah, and requesting th.e Connnittee of this
society having charge '^i the remains to transfer their custody
in due season to llie ladies of Savannah for the contemplated
interment.
A committee of the society composed of William \\'atts Sher-
man, e.x-Governor Lippiit. ex-GiAernor Dyer, Justice Horatio

In his Inlrodnctitm President Gaidiner said:
"Oil June 24, 17S3. in their Cantonments at Saratoga Bar-
racks (now Schnyierville) on the Upper Hudson River, the olti-
cers reniaining on duty with the Rhode Island Ci.~>iitinental Regi-
ment duly organized this State Society of the Ciiicimiao', and
subscribed to the Institution sent to them from the main Conti-
nental Army at Newburgh.
"Subsequently they met in the Senate Chamber of the State
House, Piovidtncc, on December 17, 1783, for permanent cTirani-
zation, and chose from their number then present the Hiir
Major-Gcneral Nathanacl Greene for president.
"The Institution, as f<>rnni!ated on May 10, 17S3, and sub-
scribed by General Washington, and by other great historic names
of the Revolution, including Lafa>ette, 'Steuben and Arniami,
Marquis de la Roucric, rciiuires that this State Society shall meet
on the 4th day of July amnially and fully consider the Principles
of the Institution and adopt the best measures to promote them.
"These Principles arc ;
"ist: An Incessant Attenti':'n to preserve inviolate those ex-
alted Rights and Liberties of Human Nature for wliich they have
fought and bled, and without which the high Rank of a Rational
Being is a Curse Instead of a Blessing.
"2d. An unalterable Determination to promote and cb.erish
between the respective States that Union and national Honour
so essentially necessary to their happiness, and the future dignity
of the American Empire.
"3d. To render permanent the cordial afiectinn subsisting
among the officers; this Spirit will dictate Brotherly Kindness
in all things, and particularly extend to the most substantial Acts
of Beneficence, accordmg to the Ability of the Society, tov.ard
those otikers and their Families who unfortunately may be under
the necessity of receiving it.
"Thus the Society of the Cincinnati in the State of Rlmde
Island and Providence Plantations became the first and indeed
the only Organization in this State to celebrate Independence.
"This prescriptive obligation was confirmed by law. under the
special act of incorporation of the General Assembly of February
2S, i8j4.
"Primogeniture was. in 17S3, the rule as to descent of property.
and the veteran CoiUinental OiVicer-. believing th.it the elde~t
male posterity W'uild, probably, be the better enabled to maintain
successfully their beloved Institution and be more likely to re-
niain at home in the State, pro\ ideil for hereditary membcrbhin
in that line vi dc-cei-it.
"Whether or nr.t. in the light, of modern development and
present equalityof all de<;ccndants in same degree, a continuance
of the prescription can be said to be desirable need not be now
considered.
"The Wteran Revolutionary Omccrs ever showed marked con-
servatism nii'I disl.iste to amendments,- and the Insiitutinn of
17S3 re:nams as originally formubited in ^^ajor-Gener^l Barnn

Dear Sir — I inclose you renewal of my subscription to the
"Sjiirit of '76," together with $1.00 in payment of the same. I
also inclose you wdiat may make an acceptable item for your next
issue. In this connection, permit me to congratulate you upon
the excellent work that has been done in the publication of the
National Register of the S. A. R. I have been surprised to see
some of the criticisms that you have printed in the "Spirit of '76"
— those that e.xpected more than has been given, for $2.00, must
have expected much indeed in return for their money. I think
that tlie book is a marvel for the price, and that jou and the
Committee are entitled to great ciedit.
